Mix the bananas and brown sugar with a hand or stand mixer in a mixing bowl until a thick liquid forms with only small banana lumps, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
2 bananas, ¼ cup brown sugar
Add in the remaining wet ingredients and mix with the mixer for about 30 seconds.
2 eggs, ⅓ cup milk, ¼ cup Greek plain yogurt, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Pour the mixed dry ingredients in and mix with the mixer for about 30 seconds, until fully incorporated.Set batter aside and allow to sit 10-15 minutes before cooking - Important, do not skip.
Heat the griddle over medium low heat - or 350 if using electric. You want the heat just a little lower then you do for regular pancakes.
If you need to add a fat to the griddle, non stick does not need any.
Once heated, spoon the batter out onto the griddle and carefully spread it out so it is even in thickness. The batter will not be a normal pancake batter consistency and it will be thick.Keep the pancakes to about 5 inches in size for best results.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, until they are easy to lift with a spatula and are browning on the bottom.Flip and cook another 1-2 minutes, until they lift easy and are browning on the bottom.
To keep warm, place the finished pancakes on a plate and loosely cover with foil or you can place the pancakes on a dish in the oven with it set to keep warm. We just cover them with foil here.
Notes
Nutritional values and serving sizes are estimated. For the oats - You can use old fashioned oats in place of the quick oats, but we do not recommend using steel oats. You can grind the oats into flour, but we really like them the way they are in these pancakes.Flax seeds - These are optional and we add them for a little texture and flavor. We put them in whole, but for the best nutrient absorption you can grind them and put them in.Brown sugar - You can use either light or dark here. We used light brown sugar.We cook eggs while the batter is sitting which sometimes takes up to 25 minutes, so you can let the batter sit that long with no problems. It only has to sit at least 10 minutes, but can go to 25 if needed.We cook the pancakes for 2 minutes on each side, but stoves and griddles vary.
