Ingredients

Pancakes

3 ripe medium bananas, mashed
3 large eggs
1 cup (240 ml) milk (dairy or non-dairy)
2 cups (200 g) oat flour
2 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.

Instructions
1

In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly. Whisk in the eggs and milk until well combined.

3 ripe medium bananas, mashed
3 large eggs
1 cup (240 ml) milk (dairy or non-dairy)

In a separate bowl, combine the oat flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

2 cups (200 g) oat flour
2 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are fine. Let the batter rest 5 minutes to thicken.

4

Heat a lightly oiled non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
