                                Banana Oatmeal Pancakes 🍌🥞

                                  In a blender, combine rolled oats, banana, almond milk, baking powder, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.

                                    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little coconut oil.

                                      Pour ¼ cup of the batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes) and then flip to cook the other side until golden brown.

                                        Repeat with the remaining batter.

                                          Serve warm with maple syrup and your choice of fruit.
