Step-by-step
Blend all ingredients until smooth, about 30 seconds.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low. Melt butter.
Pour ¼-cup pools. Cook 2 minutes until bubbles form and edges look dry.
Flip carefully. these are more delicate than regular pancakes. Cook 90 seconds more.
Stack and top with berries, maple syrup, or peanut butter.
Cook's tip
Bananas must be ripe. brown-spotted ripe. Green bananas make pasty, bitter pancakes.
Storage
Refrigerate 3 days. Reheat in a toaster for crisp edges.
Freezer: Stack with parchment between each. Freeze 2 months. Toast from frozen.

Frequently asked questions
Vegan version?
Sub each egg with 1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water, rested 5 minutes. Slightly denser but very good.
Truly gluten-free?
Yes if you use certified gluten-free oats. Regular oats are often cross-contaminated.

Loved it but added an extra scotch bonnet — we like it spicy. Recipe scales well, made a double batch.

Made this for Sunday lunch — the smoky bottom turned out perfect. Family demolished the pot in twenty minutes.

First time cooking this and the timing notes saved me. Did not lift the lid once. The crust at the bottom was the best part.
