Method
 

Smoothie Preparation
  1. If using fresh bananas, slice and freeze them for at least 2 hours before blending.
  2. Blend the rolled oats first to create a smoother texture.
  3. Add almond milk and frozen banana slices, along with optional cinnamon or vanilla, and blend until smooth.
  4. Serve immediately for the best texture.
Pancake Preparation
  1. Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl.
  2. Add eggs and cinnamon, and whisk together until well combined.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet and grease lightly.
  4. Pour batter onto the skillet, cook until golden brown on both sides, then serve warm with toppings.
Energy Bites Preparation
  1. Mash the bananas in a bowl.
  2. Add rolled oats and peanut butter, stirring until well combined.
  3. Fold in any optional add-ins.
  4. Scoop and roll into balls, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Notes

Tips: Customize with protein powder or nut butters. Store the smoothie in the fridge and consume within 24 hours. Make energy bites in bulk for quick snacks.
