Ingredients

Units Scale

1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup yogurt
2 eggs
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

Place the oats in a blender and process on high until they form a fine oat flour.
In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk, yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve warm with additional maple syrup, if desired.

Notes

These pancakes can be made in a large batch and frozen for later use. Simply reheat in the toaster or microwave for a quick breakfast. They are sweetened naturally with bananas and maple syrup, making them a healthier option for kids and adults alike. Adjust the size of the pancakes to suit your needs; smaller pancakes are perfect for toddlers.
