04 - 1 tsp vanilla extract

→ For Serving
12 - 1 cup Greek yogurt
13 - Maple syrup, to taste
14 - Fresh berries or sliced bananas (optional)
# How-To Steps:
01 - Pulse the rolled oats in a blender or food processor until a coarse flour forms. Set aside.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Whisk in eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter or coconut oil until well combined.
03 - Add the oat flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix as this can make pancakes tough.
04 - Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
05 - Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the heated skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges appear set. Flip carefully and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
06 - Stack warm pancakes on plates and top generously with Greek yogurt. Drizzle with maple syrup and garnish with fresh berries or additional banana slices if desired.
