Why This Recipe Is So Loved

These pancakes offer a wholesome twist on a classic breakfast favorite. The combination of oats and barley adds a nutty flavor and a satisfying texture. They are also packed with fiber, making them a nourishing way to start your day.

Helpful Cooking Tips

- Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to allow the grains to absorb moisture.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the outside while keeping the inside fully cooked.

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the oat flour, barley flour, wheat germ, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a little well in the center. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, mashed banana, honey, oil, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir gently until everything is just combined—you want the batter to be a bit lumpy. If it feels too thick, add a splash more milk to loosen it up.

Step 2

Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-low heat. To check if it’s ready, flick a few drops of water on the surface—if they dance and bounce, you’re good to go. Lightly oil the pan by rubbing a paper towel dipped in oil around the surface.

Step 3

Spoon the batter onto the griddle, making circles about 4 to 6 inches wide. Cook until you see bubbles forming on top and the edges start to look dry, which usually takes around 3 to 4 minutes. Flip them over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until they’re golden brown. Keep going until you’ve used up all the batter, adding a bit more oil if needed.

Serving Inspiration

Serve warm with fresh fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey. For a savory option, top with Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of chopped herbs. These pancakes also pair well with nut butters or a dollop of your favorite jam.

How To Keep It Fresh

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, warm them gently on a skillet or in the microwave. You can also freeze cooked pancakes separated by parchment paper and thaw as needed.
