Ingredients
- 1 Banana ripe
- 1 Egg
- 45 g Oats (use certified gluten free oats to ensure this recipe is gluten free)
- 1 teaspoon Flax seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Mash 1 Banana in a bowl until mostly smooth. Add 1 Egg, 45 g Oats, 1 teaspoon Flax seeds, 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt (optional).
- Mix until fully combined. Let the mixture sit for 2 to 3 minutes so the oats and flaxseeds can absorb some moisture.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over low to medium heat and lightly grease the pan. Pour the oat mixture into the pan and spread it into an even layer, like a thick pancake.
- Cook for 4 minutes, or until the underside is set and golden and the top looks mostly firm. Carefully flip it over and cook for 2 minutes on the second side.
- Use a spatula to break it up into rough pieces so it looks like a scramble.
- Cook for 2 minutes more, stirring and turning the pieces so they dry slightly and cook through, forming small clusters.
Notes
- Use a ripe banana. It gives better sweetness and helps the mixture bind.
- If you prefer a smoother texture to scrambled oats, pulse the oats in a blender a few times before mixing.
- Keep the heat moderate rather than high. If the heat is too high, the outside can brown too quickly before the middle sets enough to flip.
- If the mixture feels too wet, add 1 extra tablespoon of oats. If it feels too thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk before pouring into the pan.
