7 g butter or coconut oil (≈ ½ tbsp, for cooking)

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep the bananas: Slice one banana into thin rounds. Mash the second banana in a mixing bowl until smooth.
-
Make the batter: To the mashed banana, add the egg, oats, cinnamon, and baking powder. Stir until well combined and lump-free.

Cook the base: Heat butter or coconut oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the banana slices in the pan to form a base layer.

Serve: Drizzle with honey (or maple syrup) and dust with cinnamon. Serve warm and enjoy!

Can I meal-prep these pancakes?
Absolutely! Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Just reheat in a skillet or toaster.
What’s the best pan to use?
