Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 ripe banana, mashed

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

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

Pinch of salt

Coconut oil or non-stick spray (for greasing)

Fresh banana slices, chopped nuts, and honey for topping

Instructions
 

Blend the Oats: In a high-speed blender, add the rolled oats and blend on high until they transform into a fine flour consistency. This homemade oat flour will be the base for your pancakes.

    Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, mashed banana, almond milk, baking powder, vanilla extract, maple syrup (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir together until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. Allow this batter to rest for about 5 minutes, which helps the oats absorb the liquid and creates a thicker consistency.

      Preheat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with coconut oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

        Cook the Pancakes: Using a small ladle or tablespoon, pour a generous dollop of pancake batter onto the skillet (approximately 2-3 tablespoons per pancake). Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges appear set. Carefully flip the pancake and continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until it turns golden brown. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to ensure even cooking.

          Stack and Serve: Once all pancakes are cooked, begin to assemble your mini stacks by layering 2-3 pancakes on top of each other. Top with fresh banana slices, sprinkle with chopped nuts, and drizzle with honey or a little extra maple syrup for an indulgent finish.

            Enjoy: Serve these warm Mini Banana Oat Pancake Stacks with a side of fresh fruit or creamy yogurt for a delightful and nutritious breakfast!
