Oat Flour Banana Pancakes (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 2 ¼ cups oats
02 - 1 cup mashed overripe banana
03 - 3 large eggs
04 - ½ cup whole milk or non-dairy milk of choice
05 - 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
06 - ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
07 - ¼ teaspoon salt
08 - 2 tablespoons melted butter
09 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)

→ Maple Cream Cheese Syrup

10 - 4 ounces softened cream cheese
11 - ½ cup pure maple syrup

# Instructions:

01 - Put all ingredients in a blender and blend together until very smooth. The batter will be thick.
02 - Preheat the oven to 200°F to use as a warmer for the cooked pancakes.
03 - Warm 1 tablespoon of butter or oil in a pan on medium heat and wait until the pan preheats. Using a ⅓ cup measure, pour pancake batter into the pan. Flip when you see little bubbles form on the top and the outside edges start to set. Cook for about a minute on the other side.
04 - Place cooked pancakes on a sheet tray in the preheated oven to keep them warm. Repeat until all the batter is used. Add more milk to the batter if it thickens.
05 - Whisk together softened cream cheese and maple syrup until smooth and creamy. Warm the mixture in an oven-safe vessel or heat it in a small saucepan over low heat if lumps are present. Whisk until smooth.

# Notes:

01 - This recipe makes 8-10 pancakes depending on their size. Batter may thicken as it sits, so thin with more milk as needed.
