Tips for the best oats and banana pancakes

Now, making these Oats and banana pancakes is super-duper easy. However, there are some tips everyone can benefit from. You can find them below.

Mixing the ingredients properly

Your pancake batter needs to be uniform, but more than that- the ingredients need to mix to give birth to a delicious pancake. Now, there are endless pancake recipes on the internet and they have different ways to go about. These oats and banana pancakes depend on the reaction of ingredient banana and eggs with the others to give rise to a fluffy pancake. Otherwise, in all probability, you will end up with a flatter cheela type pancake. This will surely taste nice but won’t give you the satisfactory pancake feeling. For best results, make a well between the dry ingredient mixture and then add the dry ingredients. Use a whisk to rule out lumps.

Resist the over-mixing

When you mix the wet and dry ingredients together, gluten starts to develop. And the more you mix the batter, the more the gluten continues to develop. So what happens? The result of overworked batter is a stack of tough and chewy pancakes instead of the light and fluffy ones. Mix the batter just until the wet and dry ingredients are combined, and there are no more visible wisps of flour. The batter for these oats and banana pancakes will likely be lumpy, and that’s okay.

Allow the batter to rest

The resting period, which can range from five to 15 minutes, plays two roles. The gluten that was activated during mixing rests and relaxes. And also, the starch molecules in the flour absorb the liquid in the batter, ultimately giving it a thicker consistency. Good things come to those who wait. And, yes, that saying also applies to these oats and banana pancakes. It might seem trivial, but resting the batter is an important step that gives the gluten time to relax and settle down.

Use an ice-cream scooper or a proper pancake ladle

It is highly possible that you have use too much of the batter by using the wrong spoon. Your pancakes are now thick, messy, and eventually raw too. It is also possible that you have used a smaller quantity due to which the pancakes are not able to thicken only. In both cases, you are pretty much stuck. This is why, I really suggest using an ice-cream scooper. Not only does it help to pour the batter for these oats and banana pancakes in a smooth manner, it also doesn’t allow space for any mess!

Setting the heat too high

The batter for these oats and banana pancakes is a sensitive one, like all pancake batters. High heat doesn’t cook pancakes faster, it cooks them unevenly with burnt outsides. The pan needs to be hot, but make the mistake of setting the temperature too high and the bottoms are likely to burn while the inside remains raw and doughy.

How to add an extra oomph to your oats and banana pancakes

These Oats and Banana Pancakes are best enjoyed warm with butter and maple syrup. Maybe a scoop of vanilla ice cream , if you’re feeling indulgent. However , I like to make my pancakes even more interesting by trying it with fun combinations like berry preserve and whipped cream. Pancakes with chocolate syrup, nutella and chocolate chips are every chocolate lover’s dream come true. Alternatively, if you are a man of more tropical taste buds, I might add that pancakes can also be served with your favourite fruits.
