Ingredients

Ripe bananas

2, mashed

Rolled oats

1 cup

Milk

1 cup (or dairy-free alternative)

Egg

1

Baking powder

2 teaspoons

Cinnamon

1 teaspoon

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Maple syrup

2 tablespoons, plus more for serving

Butter or oil

for greasing the skillet

Instructions

1. 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.
2. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
3. 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.
4. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
5. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with fresh berries and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
