Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup milk (or almond milk for a dairy-free option)

1 medium ripe banana, mashed

1 large egg

2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (or vegetable oil)

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust for sweetness)

1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Fresh fruit (like blueberries or sliced bananas) for topping

Maple syrup or yogurt for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Oats: Begin by blending the rolled oats in a blender or food processor until they resemble a fine flour. This is your oatmeal flour.

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the blended oats with the milk, mashed banana, egg, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and honey/maple syrup (if using). Whisk until smooth.

      Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using). Stir until evenly mixed.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, whisking gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.

          Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a little oil or cooking spray.

            Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

              Serve: Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping cooked pancakes warm in a low oven if desired. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a dollop of yogurt if you like.

                Enjoy: Dive into these fluffy, nutritious pancakes for a delightful breakfast or brunch treat!
