Fluffy pancakes blending ripe bananas with wholesome oats for a naturally sweet breakfast.

# What You'll Need:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 2 large ripe bananas
02 - 2 large eggs

# Directions:

01 - In a blender or food processor, combine bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're naturally sweet from the bananas, so you can skip the sugar guilt and just enjoy breakfast.
  • Made entirely in a blender, which means minimal cleanup and maximum time for coffee.
  • Protein-packed from the eggs and oats, so you'll actually feel full until lunch.
  • Naturally dairy-free and gluten-free if you use certified oats, yet nobody will know the difference.
02 -
  • Don't try to flip too early or your pancakes will fall apart—wait for those bubbles and set edges, and the flip becomes effortless.
  • If your batter seems too thick, you can thin it slightly with a splash of milk or water, but too thick is better than too thin because it won't spread into a giant crepe.
03 -
  • Use bananas that are almost too ripe with brown spots—they're sweeter and blend into silk instantly.
  • Don't open the blender lid immediately after blending; let the banana steam settle for a few seconds so it doesn't spray everywhere.
