Instructions

Prepare Batter: Use your food processor, blender, or hand blender along with a bowl to combine all ingredients—bananas, oats, eggs, yogurt, baking powder, and optional vanilla or cinnamon. Blend everything together until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Heat Pan: Warm a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add butter or coconut oil to coat the surface, ensuring the pancakes do not stick and get a nice golden crust.
Cook Pancakes: Pour the batter into the pan, forming small, palm-sized pancakes. Reduce the heat slightly to prevent burning as they cook quickly. Watch for bubbles rising on the surface and edges firming up.
Flip Pancakes: Once bubbles appear and edges look set, flip the pancakes carefully using a large spatula. Cook the other side until it turns golden brown and cooked through.
Serve: Transfer the pancakes to a plate and serve immediately. They can be enjoyed plain or topped with fresh fruit, maple syrup, peanut butter, honey, or butter as desired.

Notes

To save time, prepare the batter the night before and store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
Since oats absorb liquid over time, the batter will thicken overnight; add a tablespoon or two of water in the morning to adjust consistency before cooking.
Using a non-stick pan and moderate heat helps prevent the pancakes from burning.
Optional flavor additions like cinnamon or vanilla enhance the taste but can be omitted based on preference.
