Banana Pancakes

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these pancakes (thanks, Cheri!). In fact, I'm pretty sure they've ruined traditional pancakes for me. They are so easy to make and a hit for the whole family. We made them for our family over July 4th and everyone raved over how good they are. Plus, we were able to adapt the recipe for my sister who's allergic to refined sugar, and I think the new recipe is even better.

Banana Pancakes

1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup oats
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 Tbsp. honey (or 1 Tbsp. sugar)
1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup (or 1 Tbsp. brown sugar)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/4 cups milk
2 1/2 Tbsp. oil
2 bananas, mashed
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla

In a bowl, combine dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, lightly beat egg. Add bananas and mash. Mix well. Add milk, oil and vanilla to flour mixture. Mix well. Add egg and bananas, and stir until combined. Cook on buttered griddle and serve with pure maple syrup.
