{GF} Banana Oat Pancakes

This is another recipe that I’ve had in the drawer for about 6 months – I make them almost once a week, and they go over SUPER well with everyone who’s sat at my table. (The other possibility is that the kids have all just been super polite & asked for 2nds & 3rds just to suck up, but considering they’ve been mostly 2 & 3 year olds, I highly doubt that situation.)

I came across the simple banana egg pancake last fall and tried it out, but it was just too…. sweet & banana-y for me, and not nearly filling enough. I also found that the batter didn’t cook well or flip well, so I made some adjustments. This recipe doesn’t taste nearly as much like bananas, but is sweet enough that you don’t need to add syrup to it.  If I have mini semi-sweet chocolate chips in the house, I’ll usually add a small handful of them just for the heck of it.  They’re not light & fluffy, like ‘normal’ pancakes, but we do like them an awful lot in this house!
