Instructions
- Step 1: Place 1 cup rolled oats in a blender and pulse until finely ground into oat flour. Add 1 large ripe banana, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Blend until smooth batter forms.
- Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush with 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake into skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more coconut oil as needed.
- Step 3: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan combine 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1/4 cup water. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until blueberries break down and sauce thickens slightly.
- Step 4: Serve pancakes warm topped with the blueberry sauce.
