Ingredients

Method
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.
- Add the oats and cinnamon to the banana mixture and stir until evenly incorporated. The batter will be slightly thick.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with a little oil or butter if needed.
- Pour about ½ cup (65 g) of batter onto the skillet for each pancake (use ⅓ cup / 40 g for smaller pancakes). Spread gently into an even circle.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown on both sides.
- Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with banana slices, chopped walnuts and a drizzle of maple syrup, or any toppings you like.
💡 Tips
- Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- If the batter thickens too much, add a splash of milk (dairy or plant-based) to thin it slightly.
