  1. In a medium mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork or a potato masher until smooth.
  2. Add in the eggs, rolled oats, baking powder, and vanilla extract (if using), and whisk everything together until well combined.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
  4. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the pancake batter onto the hot skillet and spread it into a circle using the back of the measuring cup to form a pancake.
  5. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look set.
  6. Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
  7. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more cooking spray or butter as needed.
  8. Once all the pancakes are cooked, stack them up, and serve with your favorite toppings such as sliced bananas, maple syrup, yogurt, or nuts for a delicious and wholesome breakfast!
