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. But I think this recipe has surpassed the sourdough pancakes as my new favorite pancake recipe. 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!
