How to make Thick & Soft Banana Pancakes

  1. Step 1

    Mash the banana in a mixing bowl using a fork until smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Add the oat flour, potato starch, plant-based milk, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until the batter is smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate for fluffier pancakes. This step is optional.

  4. Step 4

    Lightly oil a non-stick pan and heat it over medium-high heat.

  5. Step 5

    Pour a portion of the batter into the pan to form a pancake. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes on the other side. Adjust the heat if necessary to avoid burning.

  6. Step 6

    Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like syrup, fresh fruit, or nut butter.
