Time 30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
2 ripe bananas
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup blueberries
1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes (optional)
maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
Add the oats to a food processor and process until they resemble coarse flour. Add the baking soda, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Pulse a few more time to mix together.
Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth. Add in the eggs and mix well, then add the honey and vanilla and stir. Add the dry mixture to the wet and fold with a rubber spatula until a batter forms.
Put a griddle on medium heat and grease with some of the butter. Drop 1/4 cup of the batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook the pancakes on each side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the warm oven and continue with the remaining batter, adding more butter when needed.
To make the berries, set a dry saute pan over high heat. Add the blueberries and swirl the pan to avoid sticking. Heat until the berries are just starting to change to a deep purple color and beginning to blister and open.
Pour the berries over the pancakes and sprinkle with the coconut if using. Drizzle with the syrup. Serve immediately.
