Que the Jack Johnson and bring on Sunday morning! ….And with Valentine’s Day in our midst, then you’re in luck, because we’re flauntin’ the pink today with these banana oat pancakes!
These pancakes are so simple, it’s stupid.
Too easy not to make and packed with whole-food ingredients.
Here for it!
Top it off with a cacao maple drizzle, serve it to your Valentine, and be ready for a proposal.
It’s all about tha base bout’ tha base (que song here).
I’m talking about just 3 ingredients: ripe bananas + oat flour + plant milk.
Vanilla and cinnamon are always a must when I’m whipping up some flapjacks, so we’ll throw some of that in there, too.
Once you have that blended up, feel free to get creative.
Today, I went with beet powder + vegan chocolate chips!
Maybe tomorrow calls for antioxidant boosters, turmeric + blueberries (bonus recipe below).
The next day… Cacao powder + raisins? Maca powder + strawberries?
Whatever that creator within you comes up with, your pancake will no doubt be delicious and ready before Jack finishes off his guitar solo.
- 2 cups of oats (gluten-free if needed)
- 3 bananas, spotty and ripe
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ¼ cup Daily Greens Powder (optional, but a good way to get in potent greens)
- 1 tbsp beet powder (order from Organic Matters or Amazon)
- ½ cup vegan chocolate chips
- ½-3/4 cup almond milk
- Add oats to blender. Blend into a flour
- Add the rest of the ingredients, except chocolate chips, blend until smooth
- Gently chocolate chips into the batter (or sprinkle on top after flipping the pancakes)
- Heat a pan on low heat (level 2-3)
- Spoon pancakes into pan and cook for 3-4 minutes (until you see little bubbles appearing)
- Flip, then cook for another 2 minutes
- Meanwhile, make the cacao maple drizzle by whisking together a little extra Chocolate Protein and maple syrup until well combined!
- Go the extra mile and serve it up with Coco Whip(and fruit and drizzle!)
