Banana Oat Pancakes

Method

1. 1Put the oats, banana (broken into chunks), eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt into a blender. Blend on high for 20–30 seconds until completely smooth.
2. 2Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. This is not optional — the oats need time to absorb moisture, otherwise the pancakes fall apart.
3. 3Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt. The pan needs to be properly hot before you pour the batter — test with a drop of water, it should sizzle.
4. 4Pour about 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake. Cook for 2 minutes. Unlike regular pancakes, oat batter does not bubble on top when ready. Instead, lift the edge with a spatula — if the bottom is golden, flip. Cook the other side for 1 minute.
5. 5Serve immediately with banana slices, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a spoonful of peanut butter.
