Let’s cook

  1. Blend oats into a coarse flour. Add banana, eggs, milk, baking powder and cinnamon; blend to a thick batter. Let stand for 3 minutes.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and brush with a little of the oil.
  3. Pour small rounds of batter into the pan, leaving room to turn them. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear and the edges set.
  4. Flip and cook the other side for 2–3 minutes, until the centers are fully set and reach 160°F (71°C). Repeat with the remaining batter and oil.
