  2. Whisk the egg and vanilla into the soaked oats.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the whole-wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt, then fold this flour mixture into the oat batter until just combined.
  4. Make the drizzle: whisk the almond butter with the warm water until smooth and pourable; set aside.
  5. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt half of the butter. Add the banana coins in one layer, sprinkle with the brown sugar and cook 2 minutes per side until golden and caramelized. Move the bananas to a plate.
  6. Wipe the skillet, return it to medium heat and brush with a little of the remaining butter. Pour 1/4-cup scoops of batter and cook 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set, then flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes more until golden and cooked through.
  7. Repeat with the rest of the batter, brushing the skillet with the remaining butter between batches until it is used up.
  8. Stack the pancakes on plates, top with the caramelized bananas, drizzle with the almond butter sauce and scatter the chopped almonds over the top.
