Ingredients
-
1 large ripe banana
-
½ cup rolled oats
-
2 large eggs
-
½ tsp baking powder
-
¼ tsp cinnamon (optional)
-
Pinch of salt
-
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
-
Cooking spray, butter, or oil for the skillet
Optional Toppings:
-
Sliced bananas or berries

Instructions
Step 1: Make the Batter
Add the banana, oats, eggs, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract to a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth (about 20–30 seconds). If not using a blender, mash the banana with a fork and stir everything together in a bowl.
Let the batter rest for 1–2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Step 2: Heat the Skillet
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Grease lightly with cooking spray, oil, or butter.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
Pour about 2–3 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the skillet.
Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and the edges are set.
Flip carefully and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with remaining batter.
Step 4: Serve Warm
Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings.
Stack them high or spread with peanut butter and enjoy every bite!
Notes
Use a Ripe Banana – The more spots, the sweeter and softer your pancake base.
Let Batter Rest – Oats absorb liquid and help thicken the batter.
Keep Pancakes Small – Easier to flip and cook evenly.
Adjust Consistency – If too thick, add a splash of milk; if too runny, add more oats.
Add Mix-Ins – Stir in chocolate chips, blueberries, or shredded coconut before cooking.
