Peel the bananas and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Mash thoroughly with a fork until smooth.
Add the rolled oats, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl. Mix until well combined. If the batter feels too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time to reach your desired consistency.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking oil or butter.
Scoop 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a circular shape if needed.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set. Flip the pancake carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, nut butter, or yogurt.
