- 2 cups rolled oats (gluten free if needed - if using ready-made oat flour, use 2 ¼ cups)
- 2 bananas (medium)
- 2¼ cups almond, soy or oat milk
For frying pan
- 1½ tablespoon cooking oil (optional - use a non-stick frying pan if not using oil)
Add oats to blender, then blend on high power for 20 seconds or until they turn into flour. Use the end of a wooden spoon to loosen any oats that may be stuck in the jug, then add bananas and milk.
Blend on high power for 45 seconds or until batter is fully mixed, stopping and scraping down the jug if needed.
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a frying pan on medium heat (if using - otherwise, use a non-stick frying pan).
When pan is hot (you know it's hot when you can drip water on to it and it sizzles), pour ½ cup batter into it and allow it to form a wide thin circle (tilt the frying pan to help make a larger circle if needed).
Cook for 2 minutes or until batter forms holes from the bubbles and looks solid.
Flip pancake over with a spatula, then cook for another 2 minutes.
Repeat this process for all pancakes (you'll get about 6-7), adding a little more oil as needed.
Store pancakes on a warm plate in the oven until ready to eat.
Serve with fresh fruit, maple syrup, coconut whipped cream, vegan chocolate ganache or yoghurt.
Gluten-Free Option - To make these 3 ingredient vegan pancakes completely gluten-free, be sure to use gluten-free oats.
Oil-Free Option - If you wish to avoid using oil in this recipe, simply ensure you're using a non-stick frying pan - otherwise your pancakes will stick!
High Protein Option - Add a scoop of your favourite vegan protein powder to the batter ingredients before blending!
Flour Alternatives - Feel free to use oat flour instead of blending oats for this recipe if that's what you have. You might be tempted to use another type of flour - don't! Oats have a very specific consistency.
