Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 1/4 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 ripe banana, mashed

1 cup grated apple (about 1 medium apple)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

Cooking spray or coconut oil for greasing the pan

Instructions
 

Prepare the Oats: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the rolled oats and almond milk. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the oats to soak up the milk and soften.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, mix the mashed banana, grated apple, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract until well combined.

      Combine Mixtures: Add the soaked oats to the wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.

        Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in the baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix.

          Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or coconut oil.

            Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until small bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

              Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm with your choice of toppings like fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
