Oat Flour Banana Pancakes
easy, gluten free breakfast
I'm not a fan of pancakes. But I'm a fan of these pancakes. Instead of flour, they call for chopped oats. If you're anti-flour (and I can understand why that might be the case) this is a great breakfast option. You do need to wait about 20 minutes for the batter to hydrate. That'll give you time to cook some bacon as a side ;)
What you will need
75 g rolled oats
2 bananas
2 eggs
ยฝ tsp (3g) baking soda
Pinch of salt
Plenty of good maple syrup

In a blender or a food processor, chop the oats to a fine powder. 30 seconds should be plenty.

Toss the baking soda and salt right into the food processor with the oats.

Pulse until the ingredients come together into a smooth batter. Let the batter sit for 20 minutes to hydrate. Expect the finished batter to look a little like steel cut oatmeal.

I used coconut oil. The mild coconut flavor compliments the bananas.

Pour a ladle full of batter into the hot pan. Not too hot though, these have a tendency to darken more easily than traditional pancakes.

I found these pancakes to be very difficult to flip. I would almost recommend doing 1 at a time.

Once they're nicely browned on both sides, slide them out onto a warm plate.

Douse in high-quality maple syrup. Add a few banana slices. Chow down.
