Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

Cooking oil or butter for greasing the pan

Toppings (optional): sliced bananas, maple syrup, nuts, or chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Prepare the Oats: In a blender or food processor, blend the rolled oats until they resemble a fine flour. This will serve as the base of your pancake batter.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the blended oats, mashed bananas, milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully incorporated.

      Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. If you like your pancakes sweeter, feel free to add honey or maple syrup at this stage.

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

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

            Repeat: Continue with the remaining batter, greasing the pan again if necessary, until all pancakes are cooked.

              Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and add your favorite toppings—sliced bananas, a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of nuts, or even chocolate chips for an indulgent treat.
