You can easily get away with just three ingredients for this pancake – banana, oats and egg. But we like it the gold old ways, with more flavors (vanilla extract, cinnamon powder), better texture (with baking powder) and better taste (maple syrup or honey). How does that sound for you for today’s breakfast?

What Types Of Oats To Use – Rolled, Steel Cut or Instant Oats?
Rolled oats are best choice. Instant oats can also be used. Do not use steel cut oats.
Rolled oats or quick cooking oats absorbs moisture and cooks faster with better texture than steel cut oats which does not absorb moisture well and takes longer to cook.
How To Keep Pancakes Warm?
You can make banana pancakes an hour or two ahead and keep it warm in oven. Place oven at 180 degree Fahrenheit and place the pancakes in an oven proof tray until ready to serve.
Got Leftovers? Store, Freeze, and Reheat!
Store – Leftover pancakes can be easily stored in the fridge for upto two days without adding any toppings. Put the pancakes in aluminium foil wax paper in between them to prevent sticking.
Freeze – For longer storage, freeze leftover pancakes. Arrange leftover pancakes in one layer on baking tray. Pop tray into the freezer for about 30 minutes, then place them in freeze container or zip lock bags and freeze up to 2 months.
Reheat – To reheat pancakes microwave until hot or use toaster to reheat pancakes.

Notes
- You’ll get approximately 10 pancakes(â…“ cup batter each).
- Use rolled oats or quick-cooking oats only. DO NOT USE STEEL CUT OATS for this recipe.
- The secret to fluffy pancakes is the right consistency of the pancake batter. It should be easy to spread, but doesn’t spread too thinly while pouring.
- As the batter sits, it will thicken. You can loosen it with milk or water, but do not thin it down too much. You won’t achieve fluffy pancakes with thinned down batter.
- You can use well seasoned cast iron pan to cook pancakes. Or an non stick griddle.
- Wait before you flip, wait for the bottom to cook to golden brown and tiny bubbles appear around the edges of the pancake. Do not rush it.
