Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by peeling your ripe bananas and placing them in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash them until smooth, which should take about 1-2 minutes. Then, transfer the mashed bananas to a blender, and add in the eggs and rolled oats. Blend the mixture on medium speed for about 30-45 seconds until you achieve a smooth pancake batter consistency.
  2. Allow the Banana and Oats Pancakes batter to sit for 3-5 minutes. This resting period is crucial as it enables the oats to absorb some moisture, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over low to medium heat. Once the skillet is warm, pour a small amount of batter, roughly 1/4 cup, onto the skillet to form each pancake. Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to look golden and small bubbles form on the surface.
  4. Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown. If they seem to be browning too quickly, lower the heat.
  5. Once the pancakes are cooked to perfection, stack them high on a plate while they are still warm. Enjoy plain or top with yogurt, honey, or fresh fruits.

Notes
