Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats

2 ripe bananas

2 large eggs

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

1 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Coconut oil or cooking spray (for frying)

Instructions

Blend the Oats: Start by placing the rolled oats in a blender or food processor. Blend on high until the oats reach a flour-like consistency.

Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Then, add the eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the oat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the banana mixture. Stir until just combined. If the batter is too thick, you can add a bit more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

Preheat the Pan: Heat a skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil or cooking spray.

Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Serve: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm while you repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
