Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 medium ripe banana, mashed

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 cup grated apple (about 1 medium apple)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

Coconut oil or cooking spray (for the skillet)

Instructions
 

Blend the Oats: In a blender or food processor, blend the rolled oats until they turn into a fine flour consistency.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, almond milk, grated apple, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if using). Stir until well combined.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the oat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

          Preheat the Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little coconut oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

            Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.

              Keep Warm: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm in a low oven while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.

                Serve: Serve warm with extra grated apple, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of maple syrup on top.
