Gluten-Free Banana Pancakes

I don’t think I’ve ever met a person who doesn’t enjoy pancakes. They really are such an indulgent breakfast or brunch, and a great option when you want to treat yourself or others.

This recipe is super simple and pretty healthy as pancakes go, as the batter is made up of 3 key whole food ingredients - eggs, bananas and oats. I like to add a bit of salt and cinnamon for flavouring as well. The result is fluffy, wholesome Scotch-style pancakes that are the perfect base for all kinds of toppings.

You will ideally need something to blitz the oats down to flour with - a blender or food processor works best. ⠀
