🛒 Ingredients

  • 2 medium bananas (about 180 g) – one mashed, one sliced

  • 1 egg (50 g)

  • 20 g fine rolled oats (≈ 2 tbsp)

  • 1 g baking powder (≈ ½ tsp)

  • Ground cinnamon – to taste

  • 7 g butter or coconut oil (≈ ½ tbsp, for cooking)

  • 10 g honey (optional, for topping)


🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prep the bananas: Slice one banana into thin rounds. Mash the second banana in a mixing bowl until smooth.

  2. Make the batter: To the mashed banana, add the egg, oats, cinnamon, and baking powder. Stir until well combined and lump-free.

  3. Cook the base: Heat butter or coconut oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the banana slices in the pan to form a base layer.

  4. Add the batter: Pour the pancake batter gently over the banana slices. Cook until the edges are set and the bottom is golden.

  5. Flip & finish: Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown.

  6. Serve: Drizzle with honey (or maple syrup) and dust with cinnamon. Serve warm and enjoy!

📌 FAQs

It helps make the pancakes fluffier, but you can skip it if you don’t have any.

Can I meal-prep these pancakes?
Absolutely! Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Just reheat in a skillet or toaster.

What’s the best pan to use?
