Ingredients list (for approximately 9 oatmeal banana pancakes)

2 ripe bananas (with brown spots)
2 eggs
½ cup (120ml) milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
150g or 4 bags of oatmeal
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
Olive oil or butter for frying

How do you make these oatmeal banana pancakes?

Blend all ingredients into a smooth batter (about 30–60 sec), then let it rest while you heat the pan.
Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium heat and grease with oil or butter.
When the pan is hot, scoop 1/3 cup of batter into each pancake. Cook several pancakes side by side, but not too close together. Cook until bubbles form around the edges and the pancakes are slightly dry and fluffy (approximately 2–4 minutes).
Flip them over and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown. If the pancakes brown too quickly, reduce the heat to prevent burning. If your pan starts to smoke, your heat is too high.
Wipe your pan clean with a paper towel and repeat with fresh oil or butter and the remaining batter. This batter will make about 8-9 pancakes in total.
Serve with extra banana, nuts, fresh fruit, yogurt, peanut butter and/or a little maple syrup.
