Here’s a simple and healthy recipe for oat banana pancakes:

Ingredients:

- 1 cup rolled oats (or oat flour)

- 2 ripe bananas

- 2 large eggs

- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 1 tsp baking powder

- Pinch of salt

- Optional: 1/2 tsp cinnamon for extra flavor

- Cooking oil or butter for greasing the pan

Instructions:

1. Prepare the batter:

- If using rolled oats, blend them in a blender or food processor until they become a fine flour.

- Add the bananas, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, and optional cinnamon to the blender with the oats. Blend until smooth. The batter should be thick but pourable. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk.

2. Cook the pancakes:

- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter.

- Pour small amounts of the batter (about 1/4 cup per pancake) onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.

- Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.

3. Serve:

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