Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Batter

Add oats to a blender and blend into a fine flour (about 10–15 seconds).
Add banana, eggs, milk, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, salt, and optional sweetener.
Blend until smooth and thick. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 2: Heat the Pan

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Lightly grease with butter, oil, or non-stick spray.

Step 3: Cook the Pancakes

Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the pan.
Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Repeat with remaining batter.

Step 4: Serve Warm with Toppings

Stack pancakes on a plate and top with your favorites—fresh fruit, yogurt, syrup, or nuts.
Enjoy immediately while warm and fluffy!

Notes

Use Ripe Banana – Adds natural sweetness and moisture.
Let the Batter Rest – Thickens the texture and prevents runny pancakes.
Cook Low & Slow – Medium heat helps cook the inside without burning the outside.
Double the Batch – Freeze extras for a ready-to-go breakfast.
Customize – Add blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts into the batter.
