Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

Ever the pancake lover that I am, this recipe in the Chatelaine Holiday Edition 2008, caught my eye. They may take a little longer to prepare than your average pancake, but then - these are not your average flapjack! Here is my version.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup quick cooking oats
• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup vanilla yogurt
• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 ripe bananas, chopped

Method:

1. Preheat griddle between low and medium heat
2. In large bowl, combine dry ingredients
3. In another beat eggs, add yogurt, milk and butter. Stir in finely chopped bananas
4. Stir wet ingredients into dry, stirring until blended
5. Drop by extra large spoonfuls onto pre-heated griddle. You don't want to cook these too quick, because they are quite thick. Turn over once you see tiny bubbles forming on top. If they are too dark, turn down the temperature.

This recipe makes 16 pancakes. Left-overs can be frozen and reheated in the toaster.
