Whole Wheat, Oatmeal, and Banana Pancakes

01Method

1. 1

   Process the oats in a blender until they reach a coarse flour-like consistency.

2. 2

   Combine the blended oats in a large bowl with both flours, brown sugar, milk powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; whisk everything together thoroughly.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, the larger measure of vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, then fold in the mashed banana. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Brush a griddle with the smaller measure of oil and place over medium-high heat until hot.

5. 5

   Working in batches, ladle generous spoonfuls of batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles appear across the surface and the edges look set, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook until the underside is golden brown. Continue with the remaining batter.
