Ingredients

Pancakes

1 ripe medium banana, mashed
3 large eggs
1 cup (240 ml) milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1.5 cups (150 g) oat flour
1.5 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt

Toppings (per serving)

1/4 cup (30 g) fresh blueberries
1 tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup
Notes

To ensure optimal digestion before a run, it is recommended not to overmix the batter, as this can develop gluten and make the pancakes tougher. For varying training intensities, the amount of maple syrup can be adjusted; reduce for lighter sessions or increase for longer, more intense efforts. These pancakes can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, making them a convenient option for busy mornings. Reheat gently in a toaster or microwave. For those sensitive to gluten, ensure certified gluten-free oat flour is used.
