Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

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

1 medium ripe banana, mashed

1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and grated

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cooking spray or coconut oil for greasing the pan

Instructions
 

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

    Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, almond milk, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract until combined.

        Mix the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the grated apple until evenly distributed. Let the batter sit for about 5-10 minutes to thicken slightly.

          Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or coconut oil.

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

              Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

                Serve: Once all pancakes are cooked, serve warm topped with additional apple slices, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt, if desired.
