Oatmeal Banana Pancakes

Prepare the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oatmeal and milk. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the oats to soften.
Add the mashed banana, egg, and sugar to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Stir in the wheat flour to the mixture, ensuring there are no lumps.
Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a small amount of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Pour small portions of the batter onto the pan to form pancakes. Use about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake.
Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip the pancakes carefully to ensure even cooking.
Serve:
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, honey, or maple syrup.
