Banana Oat Pancakes

Here’s what you’ll need to make these banana and oat pancakes :

• Bananas- Super ripe bananas will help sweeten the pancakes!

• Oats – You can use regular oats or even oat flour.

• Milk- Use any milk you would to add some moisture, I usually use unsweetened almond milk

• Eggs - you will need two eggs for this recipe

• Pancake Staples - you’ll also need baking powder to allow the pancakes to get nice and fluffy, plus some cinnamon, vanilla & salt for flavor.

• Optional (Protein Powder) – I used a plant based protein but you can use any protein you would like.

• Any topping you would like - flaxseeds, chia seeds, nuts, coconut, chocolate chips, hemp seeds, peanut or almond butter, honey
