A pancake is a craving I get occasionally, but when it arrives, it does so with a heavy desire for an indulgent and glamorous plate. These pancakes are made from gluten free rolled oats, pulsed into a flour, and then whisked in with eggs, milk and the usual suspects. The star of the show though, is the caramelized bananas on top – because I like to be extra glam on certain mornings.
The beauty of this batter is that it comes together real quick, but the cooking time may take a little longer than a gluten-filled pancake. But I assure you these are fluffy and a delight!
