Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

By srumbel

If you are looking for something to make for dear ‘ol Dad this weekend, this is it. Dad likes pancakes, right? He’d be crazy not to love these pancakes. They are fluffy, they have a delicious, cinnamony flavor, and there are bananas added in for good measure… because adding bananas to pancakes is the best idea ever in the entire history of ideas. Well… I guess not exactly that extreme, but let’s just say that pancakes with bananas baked into them is a darn good idea.

Step 1

Place all ingredients (except banana) in a food processor (or powerful blender) and puree until smooth.
Place a lightly buttered griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Spoon the batter (about 1/4 cup) onto the griddle. Place a few banana slices on the batter. Watch for popping bubbles around the banana slices. Flip and brown the other side. Serve with warmed maple syrup.
