Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 ripe banana
• 2 eggs
• 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 0.125 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter for greasing

Directions

Step 1

In a blender, combine the rolled oats, ripe banana, eggs, Greek yogurt, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, milk, and salt.

Step 2

Blend until the mixture is smooth and no lumps remain, about 30 seconds. The batter should be thick but pourable. If it’s too thick, add an extra tablespoon of milk and blend again.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil or butter.

Step 4

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Spread slightly with the back of a spoon to form a circle.

Step 5

Cook the pancake for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges look set and bubbles start forming on the surface.

Step 6

Flip the pancake carefully and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and the center is cooked through.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, nut butter, maple syrup, or a sprinkle of chia seeds for an extra boost.
