Instructions
- In a blender, combine the ripe bananas, rolled oats, milk, egg, cinnamon, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, and maple syrup. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the pancakes warm, topped with fresh berries and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
Tips
- For extra fluffiness, let the batter sit for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Feel free to substitute the milk with almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Add a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for added flavor.
- These pancakes freeze well! Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container for up to a month.
