These delicious and healthy pancakes are simple to whip together with just three main ingredients you may already have on-hand - ripe banana, oats, and eggs! These simple pancakes are rich in protein and fiber and are kid-friendly! Consider adding into the batter or topping the pancakes with peanut/seed butter, nuts/seeds, yogurt, cottage-cheese, fruit, dried fruit, and/or dark chocolate chips for additional nutrients!
The recipe below is for one serving, however the ingredients can easily be doubled or tripled to make more batches! It's helpful to keep the batter portion small (1/4-1/3 cup) to prevent the pancakes from breaking when flipping.
These pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To enjoy another day if refrigerated, simply microwave the pancakes, each for about 15 seconds. If frozen, microwave the frozen pancakes for about 30-60 seconds.
