gluten free banana & oat pancakes

Every once in a while, pancakes just fit the bill for a weekend breakfast. I’m not much of a carb heavy breakfast lover – I’d opt for protein heavy over carb heavy – but when you’re avoiding gluten, you start to appreciate the carbohydrates that are available. In the past, sourdough pancakes were always my favorite. I like the tangy flavor and that it doesn’t have that pancake mix, odd floury flavor.
This recipe has surpassed the sourdough pancakes as my new favorite pancake recipe. It’s easy, they’re gluten-free, made with oats, and comforting! I love it because is full of flavor and has a combination of flavors I love – bananas, oats, and cinnamon. These pancakes are fluffy, flavorful, and satisfying. Give them a try next weekend!
