Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Ok, so confession time. I was super busy this weekend and totally forgot that I had some bananas in the kitchen. The kids didn’t even bother having them. As Monday rolled round, those happy bananas were looking quite terrible. But as I touched them, I realised they were perfect for using in a dessert. I thought, banana bread? Nope. The kids have been eating banana bread for months. Then I decided to throw all the ingredients into a blender and make them a super delicious breakfast.

These banana oatmeal chocolate chip pancakes are great for quick and filling breakfasts. They contain lots of fibre, vitamins and they are super filling. They are perfect to feed the kids on busy mornings.
