Apple & Banana Oat Breakfast Pancakes

This flourless recipe is a wonderful way to enjoy a hearty, satisfying breakfast made with whole-food ingredients. The combination of oats, fresh fruit, and protein-rich egg creates a balanced meal that provides lasting energy throughout your morning.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Oatmeal (rolled or quick oats)

  • 1 Ripe banana, mashed

  • 1 Apple, grated

  • 1 Large egg

  • 200 ml Water

  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

  • Small amount of oil for frying (such as olive or coconut oil)

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the 1 cup of oatmeal with 200 ml of water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.

  2. Fruit Prep: While the oats soak, mash 1 ripe banana until smooth and grate 1 fresh apple.

  3. Mix the Batter: Add the mashed banana, grated apple, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the bowl with the oats. Stir everything together until you have a thick, consistent batter.

  4. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add a small amount of your preferred cooking oil.

  5. Cook the Pancakes: Spoon small portions of the batter onto the skillet, pressing them down slightly with the back of the spoon to form rounds.

  6. Golden Finish: Cook for about 3–4 minutes on the first side until the bottom is golden brown and the edges feel stable. Carefully flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes on the other side.

  7. Serve: These are delicious served warm exactly as they are, or with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for extra flavor.

Why this works

  • No Flour: By using oats instead of traditional flour, you increase the fiber content, which helps with digestion and keeps you feeling full longer.

  • Naturally Sweet: The combination of ripe banana and grated apple provides plenty of natural sweetness without the need for added refined sugars.
