Instructions

Add the oats to a blender and blend until they form a fine flour.
Add the banana, eggs, Greek yogurt, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt to the blender.
Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

You can substitute the banana with 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce if preferred.
To increase protein, add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds to the batter.
These pancakes freeze well—store in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
