These banana oatmeal pancakes are made with wholesome ingredients and are naturally sweetened with ripe bananas, making them a nutritious and kid-friendly breakfast option.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe banana, mashed
• 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/4 cup milk (cow’s milk, almond milk, or any other milk alternative)
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• Olive oil or butter for cooking

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, rolled oats, milk, egg, cinnamon, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until well combined.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil or butter.
3. Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a circle.

5. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the skillet as needed.
6. Serve the banana oatmeal pancakes warm, topped with sliced fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
