Equipment

  • Blender
  • Frying pan

Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
  • 3/4 cups almond beverage  other nut or oat beverages can also be used
  • 2 ripe bananas  defrosted if frozen
  • 2 tbsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup zucchini, shredded equivalent to about 1 medium zucchini

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients, except zucchini, into a blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Let stand for 10 minutes so that the oats can absorb the moisture and fluff up.
  • While the batter is standing, use a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture in the shredded zucchini.
  • Stir zucchini into the pancake mixture (don't blend).
  • Add a tbsp of oil to a large frying pan and set to low/medium heat. Use about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and smooth batter in the pan.
  • Cook for 7 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  • Top with favourite fruit, nuts, syrup.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

These pancakes are great fresh but can also be frozen and reheated in a toaster for a quick mid-week breakfast. They freeze well for up to 2 months.
