Note: If you leave out the oats, it will still taste great (banana flavor 10/10), but the batter will be thin (might make a good crepe). Adding the oats makes the consistency more similar to a traditional pancake but results in slightly less banana flavor. The amount of oats listed here (1/4 cup) will still result in a thin batter with much less banana flavor.

​

Note: The version with 2 eggs and 1 banana has more of an egg-y flavor. The version with 1 egg and 1 banana has more of a banana flavor but is harder to flip.

​

Note: If you would like these to be really decadent (taste like donut), serve with chocolate pudding/frosting on top. Another option for topping is strawberry compote. Also try topping with fresh banana slices and nut butter--or fresh banana slices and strawberries.
