Instructions
Add the bananas, oats, plant-based milk, chia seeds, baking powder, vinegar, vanilla, and salt to a high-speed blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. The batter will be thick—if needed, add a splash of milk to help it blend.
Lightly coat a non-stick skillet or griddle with vegetable oil and place over medium-low heat. Once hot, pour in about ⅓ cup of batter per pancake.
Cook for 2–4 minutes, or until a few bubbles form around the edges and the bottoms are golden. Flip carefully and cook for another 2–3 minutes on the second side. Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning—if the pan smokes or the pancakes brown too quickly, lower the heat and let the pan cool slightly.
Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil between batches as needed. Serve warm with maple syrup, banana slices, and chopped walnuts if desired.
