Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

2 ripe bananas

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced bananas, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, or nut butter

Instructions
 

Blend the Oats: In a blender or food processor, blend the rolled oats until they reach a fine flour-like consistency.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the almond milk, ripe bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract to the blender with the oat flour. Blend until smooth and creamy.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the blended mixture with baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients well. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.

        Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You may lightly grease it with a bit of oil or cooking spray if needed.

          Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.

            Serve: Remove from the skillet and keep warm in a low oven if making multiple pancakes. Serve immediately with your choice of toppings.
