2. Blend until smooth and creamy (20–30 seconds).
3. Let batter rest for 2–3 minutes to thicken.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
5. Pour batter onto the skillet (~1/4 cup each).

7. Flip and cook 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
8. Repeat with remaining batter.
9. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
✔️ Use very ripe bananas for max sweetness
✔️ Let batter rest before cooking — it thickens the oats
✔️ Low/medium heat prevents burning
✔️ Freeze extras with parchment between layers
✔️ Try variations like chocolate chips or blueberries
