Directions:
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl or container, checking for any pieces of eggshell.
- Add the eggs, peeled bananas, milk, and spinach to a blender. Make sure the lid is secure and blend until well combined.
- Add the rolled oats, coconut flakes, baking powder and salt to the blender. Make sure the lid is secure and blend again until completely smooth.
- Transfer the batter to a bowl and let rest for 5 minutes.
