Instructions

  • Preheat a skillet to medium heat or about 300-325 degrees F (148-162 C).
  • Prepare flax egg by mixing flaxseed meal and water and letting set for 3-5 minutes.
  • Mash your very ripe banana with baking powder.
  • Add flax egg, oil, salt, vanilla, almond butter, and almond milk and stir.
  • Stir in oats and flour until just combined. Don't over-mix. Add chocolate chips and fold gently.

  • Serve plain or with a small drizzle of maple syrup and a few additional chocolate chips for melting. Store cooled.

Notes

*Make gluten free by following this recipe.
*Should yield 5-6 small pancakes, as the recipe is written.
*Adding 1 Tablespoons of maple syrup, sugar, or agave nectar is optional for extra sweetening, but I didn't find it necessary.
*Reheat great the following day in the microwave.
*Questions about substitutions, equipment, or troubleshooting? Check out our Recipe FAQ page.
*Nutrition information is a rough estimate.
