Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Batter
Add oats to the blender and blend until they form a fine flour (about 30 seconds).
Add the milk, banana, eggs, honey, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.
Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if needed.

Step 2: Let the Batter Rest
Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 3: Preheat the Skillet
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Lightly grease with butter or oil if needed.

Step 4: Cook the Pancakes
Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet.
Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 5: Serve
Serve warm with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nut butter, or maple syrup.

Tips for Success
Use a Ripe Banana – Adds natural sweetness and smooth texture.
Don’t Overblend – Blend just until smooth for the best texture.
Let the Batter Rest – Helps thicken the batter for fluffier pancakes.
Cook on Medium Heat – Ensures they cook through without burning.
Customize – Add mix-ins like berries, chocolate chips, or nuts!

Serving Suggestions
With Fresh Fruit – Berries, bananas, or a fruit compote.
With Greek Yogurt – Adds extra protein and creaminess.
With Maple Syrup – A classic sweet topping.
With Nut Butter – Almond or peanut butter for a hearty meal.
