Equipment

Blender
Something to cook the pancakes in i.e. nonstick pan or griddle

Ingredients

1¼ cups oats
1 cup plant-based milk link goes to Elmhurst 1925 coupon codes
1 peeled banana
2 TBSPs vanilla protein powder recommended/optional I use Moon Juice Vanilla
⅛ teaspoon salt recommended/optional
2 teaspoons maple syrup recommended/optional and you may want more maple syrup to serve them with
1 TBSP Earth Balance or oil or your choice for the pan or griddle when making the pancakes, you might use more or less

Instructions

Add oats, plant-based milk, banana, vanilla protein powder, salt, and 2 teaspoons of maple syrup to the blender and blend to form a smooth batter.
Heat the Earth Balance or oil on your pan or griddle at medium heat, you may want to start with 1/2 TBSP. Coat the surface with heated oil. To test for temperature, sprinkle a few drops of water on the pan. It's hot enough when the droplets bubble up and evaporate.
Pour the batter into the pan and let cook for about 2 minutes. You will see a few bubbles in the batter. Flip the pancakes and cook for about two more minutes. The first few pancakes will take longer than your last few pancakes. Serve with additional Earth Balance and maple syrup or toppings of your choice. Enjoy!

Notes

Nutrition Information is approximate.

More optional ingredients to play around with:

Fold blueberries into the batter
Add a pinch of cinnamon
Fold in or top with vegan chocolate chips
Add ground flaxseed (flaxseed meal) for a nutty flavor and extra nutrition
Top with sliced strawberries
Garnish with sliced banana coins and chopped walnuts or pecans

Pancake size: I measure 1/3 cup of batter, making medium-sized pancakes which are bigger than silver-dollar pancakes but smaller than you would see at a Denny's. They are cute and easy to flip. This recipe makes about 6 pancakes when using approximately 1/3 cup for each pancake.

Double Batch: I have made and sucessfully fit a double-batch in my Blendtec, the liquid line goes up 36 oz.
