- Hey guys, welcome back
to another delicious breakfast video.
I love breakfast.
My kids love pancakes and today's recipe is a new favorite.
My banana oatmeal pancakes.
They're sort of a twist
on our already favorite banana oat muffins
that you can find on this channel,
but because pancakes are a winner,
I'm gonna show you how they come together,
just like the muffins, in the blender.
So it's super minimal work.
To make these pancakes,
you're going to need some milk.
Now I'm gonna use unsweetened almond milk today
but you can use regular dairy milk
or whatever milk you use at home.
After that, we also need eggs.
Eggs are a binding ingredient in this recipe.
They're going to give it that cakey, moist texture
that we all love in pancakes.
Of course, they are a banana oatmeal pancakes.
So we are gonna use a large banana.
This one already has brown spots in it.
So it's going to be a little sweeter.
So I don't have to add any sugar or honey to the recipe.
And by the way, if you've got bananas
in the back of your freezer that are really brown,
sweet and delicious
that you've been meaning to use in smoothies,
use one of those for this recipe too.
For today's recipe, I'm using old-fashioned oats.
Old-fashioned oats have larger flakes.
I love to use them in a lot of recipes on this channel.
I always keep them in my pantry.
And if you don't have old-fashioned oats,
you can use quick or instant oats for this recipe as well.
To give our pancakes a little lift,
you're gonna use baking powder.
Baking powder is essential for the recipe
so you don't have flat and hockey-puck-like pancakes.
And, at the very end, we add a little pinch of salt
to activate the baking powder in this recipe.
Now, what I love is
that everything is going to go in our blender.
We're going to put our liquid ingredients at the bottom,
starting with the milk and then the eggs,
and then our banana.
Finally, our oats, baking powder, and salt.
Together, we're going to put on the lid on our blender.
We're going to blend it up in slow speed,
just until the banana is combined.
If your blender has a smoothie button, hit that one.
You'll have a nice, smooth consistency for about 40 seconds.
As soon as you don't see any large oat flakes anymore
in your batter, it's probably ready.
Today, I'm using my electric griddle,
just so I can make more pancakes at once
and if you want to spray yours, or you want to take a stick
of butter like I do, and grease the entire griddle.
That works too.
I just use a measuring scoop, but you can pour it, I guess,
directly or scoop it right onto your griddle.
Now, my griddle is set to medium-high heat,
about 325, 350.
You don't want to put it too hot or you'll burn the outside.
Now if you're making traditional pancakes,
I also have an entire video on this channel
on how to make really good traditional pancake batter.
I'll make sure to link that right the video too.
These smell like muffins, but on a pan.
So as you can see, our edges are defined.
The pancake batter has started to already cook on the edges.
And that's when we want to flip it.
And it's going to cook on the other side
for about another minute or so.
So let's give this other one a flip too.
I mean, perfectly golden, all the little air pockets
from blending our oats and banana.
This is one hearty breakfast you're certainly going to love.
Now below this video,
I'm going to link other pancake recipes
that I have on this channel.
If you need an eggless pancake, gluten-free,
obviously these are naturally gluten-free
because oats are gluten-free.
But, of course, making them dairy-free is super easy
just by using not butter on your griddle.
Just spray it with what you normally would spray
and a dairy-free milk alternative.
Lemme show you what the stack looks like up close.
