Ingredients

1 banana
1 egg
⅓ cup rolled or quick cooking oats
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

In a medium bowl, mash the banana with a fork. Crack the egg into the bowl, and beat it together with the banana. Stir in the oats, vanilla, and cinnamon. At this point, you can stir in any add-ins, like flaxseed meal, nut butter, and fruit.
Thoroughly heat a pan over medium heat, and add the oil. Dollop the batter into the hot pan (I like to make small pancakes), and cook for a few minutes on each side, until golden brown. Enjoy!
