Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

In a blender, combine the rolled oats and blend until they reach a flour-like consistency.

In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and optional cinnamon, mixing until combined.

Add the blended oats, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined; do not over-mix.

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking oil or butter.

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.

Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the skillet as needed.
