Banana Oat Pancakes

Three-ingredient pancakes that are naturally sweet and take 10 minutes. Ripe bananas that would otherwise go in the bin make the best pancakes - this is a food waste recipe that actually tastes great.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 60g oats
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil or butter for cooking
  • honey or maple syrup to serve

Method
 

  1. Mash the bananas in a bowl until mostly smooth - a few lumps are fine.
  2. Beat in the eggs, then stir in the oats and cinnamon if using. Let the mixture sit for 2 minutes for the oats to absorb some moisture.
  3. Heat the oil or butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of mixture per pancake into the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the underside is golden, then flip carefully.
  5. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until set and golden on both sides.
  6. Serve stacked with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
