Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Peel and break the bananas into large chunks.

- Blend all the ingredients together until you have a smooth batter.

6. Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the pancakes warm with additional maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.

Vegan banana oat pancakes with almond milk and maple syrup FAQ:

What pan size is recommended for cooking these pancakes?

A non-stick skillet or griddle that is 10-12 inches in diameter is ideal for cooking these pancakes. This size allows you to cook multiple pancakes at once without overcrowding.

How long should I cook the pancakes on each side?

Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on the first side or until bubbles start to form, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Can I substitute the almond milk with another type of milk?

Yes, you can substitute almond milk with any non-dairy milk like soy, oat, or coconut milk. Just ensure it's unsweetened for best results.

How do I store leftover pancakes?

Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.

What can I use instead of bananas if I don't have any?

If you don't have bananas, you can use unsweetened applesauce or a flaxseed meal mixture (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water) as a substitute to maintain moisture.

Tips:

- For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter.

- Use a high-speed blender to ensure the batter is smooth and well combined.

- Allow the batter to rest for a few minutes before cooking to let the oats soak up the almond milk, yielding fluffier pancakes.

- Cook the pancakes on medium heat to prevent them from burning while ensuring they cook through.

- Top your pancakes with fresh fruit, additional maple syrup, or a sprinkle of nuts for added texture and flavor.
