Submitted by Irmgard

"These hearty pancakes are a great way to use up one or two of those ripe bananas sitting in the fruit bowl. Great with maple syrup."

This is a really nice tasting pancake! I've made it lots of times now. I've made it just as it is written. I've also doubled the sugar (we don't use syrup), added cinnamon and / or raisins (now that's REALLY good!!!). I've also subbed veg. for the butter and that's fine too. I have doubled the baking powder sometimes too (makes it a little more fluffy). The oats and the bananas give a nice flavors and texture. Overall, one of my favorite pancake recipes!!!

This was wonderful with some homemade strawberry jam I just made. Of course I realized after I started that I was out of white flour so I used white whole wheat flour, and I wanted waffles instead of pancakes so I like doubled the butter and added a few spices I use in banana bread- cinamon, a bit of allspice, and some butternut flavoring. THey turned out wonderful despite all my improvising.
