Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt. Blend until the oats form a fine flour-like consistency.
  2. Step 2: Add 2 medium mashed ripe bananas, 2 large eggs, 3/4 cup milk, and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the oat flour. Blend again until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.
  3. Step 3: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tbsp butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  4. Step 4: Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
  5. Step 5: Serve warm topped with maple syrup or your favorite fruit for a kid-friendly breakfast.
