banana-oatmeal pancakes

   

     i am not a pancakes type of person.  my wife is - pancakes are a comfort food to her.  she regularly buys pancake mixes at the supermarket to have something at hand in the cupboard when the need arises.
     i usually make her banana-oatmeal pancakes when i have leftover bananas, milk, and eggs from baking - when there are orders for banana cakes.  the rest of the ingredients, viz., sugar, oil - we always have.

     doesn't require a degree in astro-physics to get this one right the first time...

     in a bowl, COMBINE 
     1-1/4 cup ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR 
     1/2 cup OATS 
     2 Tbsp BAKING POWDER (yes, Tablespoons) 
     1/4 tsp. salt 
     1 tsp. CINNAMON (optional).

     in a separate bowl, COMBINE 
     1 EGG 
     1-1/4 cup MILK 
     1 Tbsp OIL

     ADD the EGG MIXTURE to the FLOUR MIXTURE and BLEND WELL
     DO NOT OVERMIX
     ADD 2-3 pcs RIPE BANANAS (MASHED) and MIX until WELL BLENDED

     place skillet or griddle in medium-low heat 
     grease lightning, ah, eh, i meant, grease lightly
     pour approx. 1/4 cup batter onto griddle or skillet
     when bubbles start to appear, turn pancake over
     watch pancake rise
     makes 4-6 pancakes

     serve with butter, syrup, fruit preserves or fresh fruit 

good eats !!!
