"These are fluffy and delicious. I love them with butter and maple syrup but a little bit of cream cheese on top is also great. They freeze well so you can make a big batch and eat them through the week"

Yields:: 12 pancakes
Serves:: 4

ingredients

¹⁄₂ cup mashed ripe banana
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
¹⁄₄ cup vegetable oil, plus more for frying
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¹⁄₂ cups all-purpose flour
¹⁄₂ cup quick-cooking oats
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt

directions

In a large bowl, mix the mashed banana, eggs, buttermilk, vanilla and oil until well combined. Add in the flour, oats, baking powder and salt. Mix until just combined then let sit for 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
Place a large non-stick skillet over a medium-low heat on the stove and pour in enough vegetable oil to lightly coat the surface of the skillet. Once the pan is hot, pour ¼ cup of batter into the pan to form one pancake. Repeat to fit 3 to 4 pancakes in the skillet, depending on the size. Cook over a low heat until the undersides of the pancakes are golden. Flip and cook on the other side until golden.
Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.

This was an easy recipe with good results. I used two bananas which might have been too much, as the oat flavor was completely masked. I also added about a half tsp of cinnamon. I liked this recipe because it didn't have sugar, and I could leave out the salt and use zero sodium baking powder while still getting good flavor. Next time I will actually measure the banana mash, and add any leftover as slices on top.
