Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground oats, banana slices, and eggs. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring gently to help the ingredients start blending together.

2. Blend Until Smooth:
   Transfer the mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender. Blend until the batter is completely smooth and has no lumps. It should have a slightly thin, pourable consistency—similar to traditional crepe batter.

3. Rest the Batter:
   Allow the batter to rest for about 10 minutes. This gives the oats time to absorb some of the liquid, resulting in a better texture when cooked.

4. Cook the Crepes:
   Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, swirling quickly to spread it out thinly.

5. Flip and Cook:
   Cook for about 1–2 minutes, or until the edges lift easily and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe carefully using a spatula and cook the other side for another 30–45 seconds.

6. Stack and Keep Warm:
   Transfer cooked crepes to a plate and cover lightly with foil to keep warm while you cook the rest of the batter.

7. Serve:
   Serve the crepes folded or rolled, filled with your favorite toppings like Greek yogurt, honey, peanut butter, or additional banana slices for a naturally sweet and delicious meal.

Notes:

• You can add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor.

• If the batter thickens too much while resting, just add a tablespoon or two of milk to thin it out.

• These crepes freeze well—perfect for meal prep! Simply separate them with parchment paper and freeze in a sealed bag.
