These pancakes are also great for kids' nursery lunch boxes and they make a fun, filling and nourishing weekend breakfast for the whole family.

Ingredients:
2 ripe bananas
1 cup oats, ground into flour
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
1/2 cup plant milk (almond, oat or your favourite)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
1 egg (optional)
Coconut oil for frying
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients:
Peel the bananas and break them into chunks.
Measure out the oats and grind them into flour using a blender or food processor. I use nutribullet.
Blend the Batter:
In a blender, combine the bananas, oat flour, ground flax seeds, egg (if using) and plant milk. Add vanilla extract if using.
Blend until you have a smooth batter. If the batter is too thick, add a bit more plant milk to reach your desired consistency.
Heat the Pan:
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of coconut oil to coat the pan.
Cook the Pancakes:
Pour the batter onto the hot pan to form small pancakes.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve:
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit or berries, a drizzle of maple syrup and a dollop of nut butter.
