Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a blender, combine almond milk, eggs, egg white, banana, maple syrup, vanilla extract (if using), rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Preheat the Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once it’s hot, spray with non-stick cooking spray or add a small amount of coconut oil or butter to coat the surface.

Notes
- Use gluten-free rolled oats to make this recipe gluten-free.
- The banana adds natural sweetness, so adjust the maple syrup according to your taste.
- For a fluffier texture, do not overblend the batter.
- Pancakes can be kept warm in a low oven while cooking the rest.
- Optional toppings can be varied according to preference or availability.
