Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

Ingredients

• 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large ripe banana (cut into 1-inch thick rounds)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons butter (divided)
• butter (to taste)
• real maple syrup (to taste)

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine oats, baking powder, salt, milk and banana in a blender pitcher; blend until smooth, stopping the blender and stirring the mixture with a spatula as necessary to keep it moving. Add eggs, honey and vanilla and blend just until combined. (If your batter seems too thick, add milk to the blender a little at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.) Pour batter into a medium bowl for scooping.

2. 2

   Heat large skillet over medium heat until hot; add 2 teaspoons butter and swirl to coat. Scoop batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto hot skillet and cook until batter starts to bubble. (If batter seems to be cooking too fast, reduce heat; too slow increase heat slightly.) Flip and cook through. Transfer to serving plate and repeat with remaining batter.

3. 3

   Serve pancakes with butter and real maple syrup.
