Pancake Preparation
  1. Blend the rolled oats in a blender until they resemble coarse flour.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas and then whisk in the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently.
  5. Allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes.
  6. Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat and pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake.
  7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  8. Stack the pancakes and serve warm with optional toppings.
