Ingredients
2 ripe bananas, mashed
2 large eggs
1 cup rolled oats
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for added flavor)
1/4 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for fluffiness)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Pinch of salt
Cooking oil or butter, for greasing the pan
Instructions
Prepare the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the eggs and whisk until well combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a smooth batter forms. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
Heat the Pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with cooking oil or butter.
Cook the Pancakes:
Scoop about 2–3 tablespoons of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Use the back of the spoon to gently spread the batter into a circular shape.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges are set. Flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat:
Continue with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between batches.
Serve:
Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm. Top with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, honey, or a dollop of yogurt.
