Ingredients

3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
2 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup mashed)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 cups buttermilk
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Melted butter for cooking pancakes
Sliced bananas, chocolate chips, and maple syrup for serving

Instructions

Pour oats in a medium skillet and set over medium heat. Toast oats 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until oats are a light golden brown and fragrant. Allow to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk mashed bananas, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, egg, and buttermilk until smooth. In a separate medium bowl, combine flour, toasted oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Fold flour mixture into liquid until batter is just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly brush with butter. Working in batches, drop pancake batter by heaping 1/3 cupfuls onto hot skillet and allow to cook 2-3 minutes on each side until pancakes are golden brown. Repeat cooking method with remaining batter, adding more butter to skillet as needed.
Serve pancakes warm with banana slices, chocolate chips, and maple syrup on top. Enjoy!
