Caramelized Banana Oat Pancake

This wholesome oat pancake is topped with golden caramelized bananas, toasted nuts, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and a generous drizzle of maple syrup—perfect for a cozy, nourishing breakfast or brunch treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice
  • 1/2 banana, mashed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 ripe banana, sliced lengthwise
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp chopped hazelnuts or walnuts
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (optional)
  • Extra maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. Blend oats in a blender until finely ground. Add milk, mashed banana, egg, baking powder, vanilla, and salt. Blend until smooth and let rest 5 minutes.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease. Pour in the batter and spread into a large pancake shape. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through.
  3. In a separate skillet, heat coconut oil or butter over medium heat. Add banana slices and drizzle with maple syrup. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized.
  4. Place pancake on a plate. Top with caramelized banana, chopped nuts, and a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
  5. Drizzle with extra maple syrup before serving warm.

Notes

  • Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness and better caramelization.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt with dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the pancake batter for extra warmth.
