Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes
Quick, easy, and entirely vegan, they come together in just 15 minutes with a single bowl—perfect for busy mornings. With a touch of banana, creamy almond butter, and melty chocolate, every bite is a harmonious blend of comfort and indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon of avocado oil or melted coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk or alternative milk
- 1 medium-sized fully ripe banana
- 1 tablespoon of almond butter
- 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 2 ½ tablespoons of water (flax egg)
- ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
- ½ cup of rolled oats or gluten-free oats if preferred
- ¼ cup of whole wheat flour or unbleached flour or suitable substitutes
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 3 tablespoons of dairy-free semisweet chocolate chips
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Heat a skillet on medium, setting the temperature to approximately 300–325°F (148–162°C). Lightly grease the cooking surface.
- In a small bowl, prepare the flax egg by combining flaxseed meal with water. Let it rest for 3–5 minutes to thicken.
- Mash the banana thoroughly in a mixing bowl. Incorporate the baking powder, ensuring the mixture is smooth.
- Add the prepared flax egg, avocado oil, salt, vanilla extract, almond butter, and almond milk to the banana mixture. Stir until well combined.
- Gradually mix in the rolled oats and flour, stirring gently to avoid overmixing. Once combined, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop out portions of the batter, about ¼ cup each, and place them onto the preheated skillet. Cook each pancake for 2–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm as is, or drizzle with maple syrup and garnish with additional chocolate chips if desired. Allow any leftovers to cool completely before storing.
