Some aromas instantly bring back our warmest memories. The scent of freshly cooked oatmeal, ripe bananas, and homemade pancakes is one of them. It’s no wonder people say that the best day doesn’t begin with an alarm clock—it begins with a delicious breakfast.
You will need:
- 150 g JARKA™ Oat Flakes;
- 1 large ripe banana;
- 2 eggs;
- 150 ml milk;
- 50 g all-purpose flour;
- 1 tsp baking powder;
- 1 tbsp honey or sugar (optional);
- 1 tsp vanilla sugar (or ½ tsp vanilla extract);
- A pinch of salt;
- Vegetable oil for frying.
For serving:
- Fresh berries;
- Honey or maple syrup;
- Plain yogurt;
- Nuts;
- Fresh mint leaves.
Step 1. Prepare the Oat Flakes
Blend the JARKA™ Oat Flakes until they reach a coarse flour consistency. Don’t grind them too finely—small oat pieces will give the pancakes extra texture and tenderness.
Step 2. Make the Banana Purée
Peel the banana and mash it with a fork or blend until smooth.
The banana naturally sweetens the pancakes while keeping them moist and fluffy.
Step 3. Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, combine:
- Mashed banana
- Eggs
- Milk
- Honey
- Vanilla sugar
Mix well.
Then add:
- Ground oat flakes
- Flour
- Baking powder
- A pinch of salt
Stir until the batter is smooth.
Let it rest for about 10 minutes. During this time, the oat flakes will absorb some of the liquid, making the pancakes even softer.
Step 4. Heat the Pan
Lightly grease a non-stick frying pan with vegetable oil.
Heat it over medium heat—avoid overheating to ensure the pancakes cook evenly.
Step 5. Cook the Pancakes
Spoon the batter onto the pan, forming small round pancakes.
Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
When small bubbles begin to appear on the surface, it’s time to flip them over.
Step 6. Serve and Enjoy
Arrange the pancakes on a serving plate.
Drizzle with honey or maple syrup.
Top with fresh berries, banana slices, chopped nuts, or a spoonful of plain yogurt.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness.
A Little Tip from JARKA™
For extra-soft pancakes, add one tablespoon of plain yogurt or sour cream to the batter. If you’d like a richer flavor, sprinkle in a pinch of cinnamon or a little shredded coconut.
