Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 ripe banana

1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

1 large egg

1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (or butter) for cooking

Fresh banana slices and maple syrup for serving

Instructions
 

Blend the Oats: In a blender or food processor, add the rolled oats and blend until they reach a fine flour consistency.

    Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth. Then add the blended oats, milk, egg, maple syrup, vanilla, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Stir until combined; let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken.

      Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add coconut oil or butter, coating the surface lightly.

        Cook the Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of pancake batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

          Serve Warm: Remove the pancakes and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes stacked, topped with fresh banana slices and a drizzle of maple syrup.
