Banana Pancake Casserole with Chocolate Chips

In a blender combine mashed bananas, milk, flour, and 2 tablespoon maple syrup. Cover and blend until smooth. Add oats, vanilla, baking powder, and salt. Cover and pulse a few times to distribute and break the oats into bits. 2. Heat a nonstick griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium. For each pancake, pour ¼ cup batter onto griddle, allowing to spread to a 3½-inch circle. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until pancakes look slightly dry on top, are golden brown on the bottom, and release easily from the pan. Flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer cooked pancakes to a 3-quart. baking dish, folding each into a taco shape while still warm and arranging them in rows in the dish. 3. Repeat with remaining batter. Sprinkle chocolate chips over pancakes. (If preparing a day ahead, let cool, then cover and chill until ready to bake.) 4. When ready to bake and serve, preheat oven to 350°F. Uncover and bake 20 minutes or until heated through. Top with sliced bananas and drizzle with additional maple syrup.
