  • ·1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ·1/2 teaspoon salt
  • ·2 cups low-fat milk

  • ·3 tablespoons melted butter or canola oil (if using butter, cool to room temp first)
  • ·1/3 cup honey (optional — author noted they didn't use it)

  • Step 3

    Note: Alternatively, if you have a large food processor you can add all the dry ingredients at once and process until the oats are very fine. Then follow step 3, add the flour mixture to the bowl containing the liquids, and mix.

  • Step 4

    In a separate medium bowl, combine the milk, yogurt, cooled melted butter or oil, honey (if using), pureed banana, and eggs. Hand whisk until thoroughly combined, but do not beat.

  • Step 5

    Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour the liquids into the bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until well incorporated. Do not overmix—stir until moist and combined.

  • Step 6

    Turn the heat on the pan or griddle up to medium-low. Grease the cooking surface with cooking spray, oil, or butter. Add batter by 1/4 cup portions per pancake to the pan. Cook until the bottom is golden brown before flipping.

  • Step 7

    You can usually tell the pancakes are ready to flip when the tops begin to bubble. After cooking, keep pancakes warm in a 150°F (about 65°C) oven until serving.

    • Notes

    Honey is listed as optional (author noted they didn't use it). If using melted butter, allow it to cool to room temperature before mixing with other liquids. If you have a large food processor you can process all dry ingredients together until oats are very fine (see step 2). Pancakes can be kept warm in a 150°F (about 65°C) oven.
