Banana Oatmeal Pancakes with Creamy Peanut Butter Sauce
Recipe type: Breakfast, Vegan, Paleo, Gluten Free
Serves: 1 (4 mini pancakes)
 
Ingredients
  • Pancakes
  • ½ tbsp ground flax seed
  • 1 tbsp water
  • ½ banana, mashed (¼ cup mashed)
  • ¼ cup oats* (both quick cook or old fashioned is fine)
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • A pinch of pink salt
  • ¼ tsp vanilla
  • 2½ tbsp almond milk
  • ½ tbsp oil (I used grapeseed this time)
  • A dash of cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp coconut flour
  • 1 tbsp cacao nibs
  • Peanut Butter Sauce
  • 1 tbsp natural peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt**
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • A dash of cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 - 2 tbsp almond milk
Instructions
  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine ground flax seed and water to make flax egg. Let it sit for about 3 to 5 minutes to thicken up.
  2. Meanwhile, mash banana by hand or puree in a food processor.
  3. Grind oats into a fine flour using a coffee grinder or a food processor.
  4. Add mashed banana, baking powder, salt, vanilla, almond milk, and oil to flax egg. Mix well.
  5. Add oat flour, cinnamon, and coconut flour to wet mixture and mix until thoroughly combined.
  6. At this point, you can either add the cacao nibs to the batter or top the pancakes before flipping on the griddle.
  7. Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Use a very generous tablespoon for each mini pancake.
  8. Turn the heat down to medium-low and cook until the edges begin to dry. Flip and continue to cook until the centre is cooked through and no longer squishy. These pancakes need to be cooked at a lower temperature for a longer period of time.
  9. While pancakes are cooking, prepare peanut butter sauce. Warm the peanut butter in the microwave for 10 seconds. Add yogurt, cinnamon, maple syrup and mix well. Add almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  10. Serve pancakes hot with creamy peanut butter sauce, sliced bananas, and extra cacao nibs.
Notes
*Use gluten free oats if necessary
**Vegan option: Use a non-dairy yogurt
