Method

  1. Place the rolled oats in a high-speed blender and blend until they become a fine powder. Add the baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, and pulse once to combine. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and set aside.
  2. In the same blender, combine the almond milk, egg, banana, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add the dry ingredients to the blender and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine. Gently fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula, avoiding the blender blade.
  4. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a little oil.
  5. Using a ⅓-cup measuring cup, pour 3-4 portions of batter into the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden and cooked through, another 1-2 minutes.
  6. Serve warm with maple syrup and fresh fruit, if desired.

💡 Tips

  • Use a very ripe banana for extra sweetness and flavor.
  • If you don't have almond milk, any milk (dairy or plant-based) will work.
  • Keep the pancakes warm in a low oven while cooking the rest.
