FAQs:
Can I make these pancakes dairy-free?
Yes! Simply swap the butter with coconut oil and use a non-dairy milk like almond milk or oat milk.
Can I use instant oats instead of rolled oats?
Absolutely! Instant oats will work, but rolled oats will provide a heartier texture.
Can I freeze these pancakes?
Yes! Once cooked, let them cool and place them in a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in the microwave or on a skillet for a quick breakfast option.
How do I know when the pancakes are done cooking?
When bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, it’s time to flip! Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes after flipping to make sure they’re cooked through.
Can I add other toppings?
Definitely! Try adding sliced bananas, peanut butter, or your favorite nuts on top.
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Pancake Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, mashed avocado, and mashed banana. Add the melted butter, milk (or water), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
2. Add the Oats:
Stir in the oats until the batter is thick and fully combined. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more milk or water until you reach the desired consistency.
3. Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Once hot, spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Add a few blueberries to each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
Drizzle with honey or maple syrup and top with extra blueberries if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the fluffy, nutrient-packed pancakes!
