Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe bananas (spotty is best)
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (or quick oats)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond/oat milk)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional but recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • Butter, coconut oil, or avocado oil for the pan
  • Optional add-ins: 1–2 tablespoons chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped nuts

Instructions
 

  • Blend the dry base: Add oats to a blender and pulse until they resemble a fine flour.
  • Add the wet ingredients: Toss in bananas, eggs, milk, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and sweetener if using. Blend until smooth and pourable. Let it rest 2–3 minutes to thicken slightly.
  • Heat the pan: Warm a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  • Cook the pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake. If using add-ins, sprinkle them on top now. Cook 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form and edges look set.
  • Flip gently: Turn and cook another 1–2 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Reduce heat if they brown too fast.
  • Serve warm: Top with fresh fruit, yogurt, nut butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
