Place all ingredients in the blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
1 banana, ⅓ cup oats, 1 large egg, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Spray the griddle or nonstick pan with cooking spray or oil or melt butter and spread across it. Pour pancake batter directly from the blender making 3-4 inch diameter pancakes. One batch will make 4-6 pancakes.
If desired, evenly sprinkle chocolate chips or any other add-in on top of the pancakes. Flip pancakes when bubbly and able to easily slide the spatula underneath them to flip, about 1-2 minutes after cooking. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
