Banana Oat Blender Pancakes with Almond Butter

Whether a weekend brunch or “breakfast for dinner,” these pancakes are a hit with kids and adults alike. They come together quickly in a blender and have a nice richness without being overly sweet. Gluten and dairy free without sacrificing any taste. Serve with a side of bacon or fruit.

Serves 4-5
3-4 pancakes each

Ingredients:
1 cup quick cooking oats
1 cup flour (or gluten free blend)
1 1/4 cups almond milk
2 ripe bananas
3 eggs
1/2 cup almond butter
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder

Toppings:
Sliced bananas
Almond butter
Maple syrup
Cinnamon

Directions:
Combine ingredients in a blender until smooth. Mixture will be thick but should be easily scoopable.

Heat a griddle or large nonstick saucepan over medium high heat. Spray with cooking spray or oil to ensure pancakes don’t stick. Pour pancake mixture in roughly 1/4 cup circles onto pan or griddle. Fit as many as possible at a time without overcrowding. Cook 2-3 minutes on first side. Pancake will start bubbling slightly and brown on the edges. Flip and cook 2-3 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter until all pancakes are cooked.

Serve warm. Top with sliced bananas, almond butter, syrup and cinnamon or desired toppings.
