We had a very ripe banana one day and I was reminded of a pancake recipe that I found on Pinterest a little while ago. So happy that we now own a griddle so we can finally make it.


The Ingredients:

I love the fact that it doesn't use any sugar. Not even a pinch. How cool is that?

Mash the banana


Add the egg, oil, salt, vanilla, butter, milk


Stir them all together. I let my little chef handle this part


Lastly, stir in the flour, oat, and chocolate chips


Then cook on the griddle


Flip then cook the other side

Then it's ready to be eaten with maple syrup
