Ingredients
  

  • For the Pancakes:
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for a healthier option)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ¼ cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness
  • For Serving:
  • Butter or coconut oil
  • Honey or maple syrup
  • Fresh banana slices or berries

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mash bananas and whisk with eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla, and optional honey.
  • Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be slightly thick.
  • Cook Pancakes: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on top and edges look set. Flip and cook an additional 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve Immediately: Stack pancakes on plates, top with butter, honey, or maple syrup, and garnish with banana slices or berries.
