1 ripe banana (for natural sweetness)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp cinnamon (optional)

Pinch of salt

Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

Prepare the batter

Add the avocado, oats, eggs, milk, banana, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt into a blender.

Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and pourable.

If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk.

Heat the pan

Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.

Lightly grease it with butter or oil.

Cook the pancakes

Pour small rounds of batter onto the pan.

Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through.

Flip once bubbles appear on the surface.

Serve warm

Top with:

Fresh berries

A drizzle of honey or maple syrup

Tips for Best Results

Use a fully ripe avocado for a smoother texture.

Keep heat medium-low to avoid burning.

Want extra fluffiness? Add 1 tablespoon of yogurt to the batter.

For extra protein, add 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder (adjust milk as needed).

Make it vegan by using:

Plant milk

2 tbsp chia seeds + 6 tbsp water (instead of eggs)
