Chef's Note

For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for up to 10 minutes before cooking. This allows the baking powder to activate and the oats to soften. If the batter thickens too much while resting, thin it with a splash of milk. For a dairy-free version, substitute almond milk and coconut yogurt.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour

  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 3 medium ripe bananas

  • 2 large eggs

  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil

  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions
  • 1

    In a food processor, pulse 1/2 cup rolled oats until finely ground but not powdery.

  • 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup whole wheat flour, ground oats, 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

  • 3

    In a separate bowl, mash 3 medium ripe bananas until smooth with some small chunks remaining.

  • 4

    Whisk 2 large eggs into the mashed bananas, then add 3/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons honey. Mix until well combined.

  • 5

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  • 6

    Fold in 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, reserving some for garnish if desired.

  • 7

    Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while heating a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

  • 8

    Add 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the surface.

  • 9

    For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

  • 10

    Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

  • 11

    Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil to the pan as needed.

  • 12

    Serve warm with additional sliced bananas, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of Greek yogurt if desired.
