Ingredients

• 2 ripe bananas (mashed)
• 2 cups (200g) rolled oats
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• A pinch of salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter (for cooking)

Preparation Time

• Preparation Time: 10 minutes
• Cooking Time: 10 minutes
• Total Time: 20 minutes

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, rolled oats, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the mixture is well blended and forms a thick batter. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter. Drop a spoonful of batter onto the skillet and spread it slightly into a pancake shape. Cook each pancake for about 2–3 minutes on one side, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges are set. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Tips for Success
Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and natural sweetness. If the batter feels too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or water to loosen it slightly. For added texture, stir in chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit. To keep pancakes warm while cooking, place them on a plate covered with foil or in a warm oven. Serve the pancakes with a drizzle of honey, a dollop of yogurt, or fresh fruit for extra flavor.
