restaurantInstructions

1

Mix the wet ingredients

Mash the bananas in a large bowl until mostly smooth — a few small lumps are fine and add texture. Whisk in the eggs, milk, and vanilla until well combined.

2

Add the dry ingredients and rest

Stir in the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until just combined. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes so the oats soften and the batter thickens slightly.

3

Heat the griddle

Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small knob of butter or a drizzle of oil and swirl to coat the surface.

4

Cook the first side

Scoop 1/4-cup portions of batter onto the hot griddle, leaving space between pancakes. Cook until bubbles appear across the surface and the edges look matte and set, 2 to 3 minutes.

5

Flip and finish

Flip and cook until the second side is golden brown and the center feels set rather than wet when lightly pressed, 1 to 2 minutes more.

6

Serve warm

Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the griddle as needed. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
