Instructions
- Step 1: In a blender, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 2 medium ripe bananas, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 2 tbsp melted coconut oil. Blend until smooth batter forms.
- Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and edges look set.
- Step 3: Flip pancakes carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Step 4: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, 2 tbsp maple syrup, and 1 tsp lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until the blueberries break down and form a thick compote.
- Step 5: Serve the warm banana oat pancakes topped with the blueberry compote for a naturally sweet and satisfying breakfast.
