Description
These banana oat flapjacks come together with pantry basics and make breakfast feel a little more special without much effort. They’re soft in the middle, lightly crisp on the edges, and really good with a drizzle of honey and fresh fruit.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp Self-Raising flour (optional for a firmer dough)
- 1 to 2 tsp olive oil, for frying
- Honey, for serving
- Fresh fruit, for serving
Instructions
- Add 1 ripe banana, 1/2 cup oats, and 1 egg to a blender.
- Blitz until mostly smooth. A few bits of oats left behind actually give the flapjacks a better texture, but you decide how you want yours.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl and stir in 2 Tbsp Self-Raising flour (if using).
- Let the batter sit for 2 minutes so the oats can absorb a little moisture. If the batter feels too thick, add 1 Tbsp milk.
- Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Don’t let the pan get too hot, or the banana can brown too quickly before the middle cooks through.
- Spoon small portions of batter into the pan and gently flatten slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes per side until lightly browned and cooked through.
- Add more olive oil if needed for the second batch.
- Serve warm with honey and fresh fruit.
- They’re especially good with berries, sliced banana, or even a spoonful of yogurt on the side.
Notes
Prepared, tried, and tested by Nazley
Additional Information
- Can I make these without a blender? Yes. Mash the banana very well with a fork and stir everything together by hand.
- Can I make these ahead? Yes. Store in the fridge and reheat gently in a pan or microwave.
- Can kids eat these? Definitely. They’re soft, mildly sweet, and easy to customise with fruit toppings.
Storage and Freezing
- Can this be frozen? Yes. Let the flapjacks cool fully, then freeze in a sealed container with parchment paper between layers for up to 2 months.
- How long can this be stored and how? Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or microwave before serving.
Substitute Suggestions
- Use quick oats instead of rolled oats
- Swap Self-Raising flour with all-purpose flour plus 1/4 tsp baking powder (if using for a firmer dough)
- Use coconut oil or butter instead of olive oil
- Add cinnamon or vanilla for extra flavour
Breakfast Flapjacks are the kind of breakfast you throw together when the fridge looks almost empty. Somehow, they still feel like a proper treat
Banana Oat Breakfast Flapjacks are perfect for mornings when breakfast needs to be quick but still feel homemade. The soft texture, natural sweetness from the banana, and warm honey on top make them satisfying without feeling heavy. They use everyday ingredients, come together fast, and work just as well for brunch as they do for busy weekday breakfasts.
