👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Blend the ingredients
   Add banana, oats, egg, milk, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla to a blender. Blend until smooth (about 20-30 seconds). Let it sit 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
2. Cook the pancakes
   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil or olive oil. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear and edges firm up. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes.
3. Serve with healthy toppings
   Try:
   • Sliced bananas & berries
   • Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
   • Natural peanut/almond butter
   • A drizzle of pure maple syrup or honey (optional)
