 Ingredients

The Core 5:

• 2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned; certified GF if needed)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 ripe banana (or ¼ cup honey/maple syrup)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

The Essential Add-Ins:

• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
• Pinch of salt

For Cooking & Serving:

• Butter or coconut oil for the pan
• Maple syrup, nut butter, yogurt, or fresh fruit for topping

 Equipment You’ll Need

• Blender (for the batter)
• Non-stick skillet or griddle
• Measuring cups & spoons
• Spatula

 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Blend the Batter
   Add oats, eggs, milk, banana, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to a blender. Blend 30–60 seconds until smooth. Let rest 5 minutes to thicken.

2. Heat the Pan
   Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little butter or coconut oil.

3. Cook Pancakes
   Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cook 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

4. Serve Warm
   Stack pancakes and top with maple syrup, nut butter, or fresh fruit.

 Pro Tips for Success

• Let Batter Rest – Gives oats time to absorb liquid for fluffier pancakes.
• Cook Low & Slow – Prevents burning since oat batter browns faster.
• Add Mix-Ins – Fold in blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts for variety.
• Make Ahead – Freeze in single layers and reheat in the toaster for a quick healthy breakfast.

Serving Ideas

• Classic: Butter + maple syrup
• Fruity: Sliced bananas, strawberries, or sautéed apples
• Protein Boost: Greek yogurt or almond butter drizzle
• Dessert-Style: Dark chocolate chips + whipped cream

 Storage & Reheating

• Fridge: Up to 5 days in an airtight container.
• Freezer: Up to 3 months—layer between parchment.
• Reheat: In the toaster, skillet, or microwave.

 FAQs

Q: Can I make these vegan?
Yes—replace eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based milk.

Q: Why are my pancakes sticking?
Make sure the pan is greased and fully preheated.

Q: Can I make the batter the night before?
Yes, but it will thicken overnight. Add a splash of milk to loosen before cooking.
