Use a 1/3 cup measuring cup to scoop batter and pour onto pan. Leave a couple of inches of space between pancakes in order to have room to flip. Cook until edges of pancakes are firm and bubbles have formed in center of pancakes, about 3-5 minutes. Flip with a spatula; pancakes should be golden in color. Cook until second side is also golden, about 2-4 minutes more. Continue cooking pancakes in batches, adding a new layer of olive oil spray before each new batch.

Meanwhile, as pancakes are cooking, prepare the maple-glazed bananas. Heat olive oil in a small saute pan over low heat. Add bananas, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Cook, stirring often, until bananas are softened and syrup begins to simmer, about 5 minutes. Top pancakes with spoonfuls of bananas and syrup, and serve warm.
