Notes
- Ensure the banana is very ripe for the best sweetness and texture.
- Adjust the amount of liquid if the batter is too thick or too thin; you can add a splash of milk or water if needed.
- Protein powder can vary in consistency, so you might need to adjust the oats slightly.
- These pancakes are best enjoyed fresh.
