Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Fruit Mash Base
In a medium ceramic mixing bowl, thoroughly mash 1 medium banana with a fork until smooth. Stir in the finely diced fresh strawberries and 1 beaten egg until fully combined.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Ensure strawberries are chopped into small, bite-sized pieces so pancakes hold their structure.
Step 2: Form the Batter
Gradually add 1 cup of oat flour into the wet fruit mix. Stir gentle until a thick, pourable pancake batter forms.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** If the batter feels too thick, splash in 1 tablespoon of water or unsweetened goat milk.
Step 3: Cook Mini Pancake Bites
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly coat with coconut oil if desired. Spoon 1-inch dollops of batter onto the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until small bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until light golden brown.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Keep heat low so the natural fruit sugars brown gently without burning.
Step 4: Garnish & Serve
Transfer pancake bites to a cooling rack until completely cool to the touch. Stack 3 to 4 mini pancakes into a tower, top with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of diced fresh strawberries.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Never serve warm pancakes directly from the pan to prevent mouth burns.
