Hearty Banana Oat Flapjacks

~ Posted on Friday, February 3, 2012 at 9:19 AM ~

It has been months since I posted stuff related to baking or cooking. After my last recipe post on the Easy to Remember Pancakes, I browsed through the recipes on my iPad and came across this recipe which is quite similar, except you add oats into  it as well! Anyway, without further ado, here goes:

HEARTY BANANA OAT FLAPJACKS

PREPARATION TIME: LESS THAN 20 MINUTES

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

* 2 large ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
* 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/2  cup Quaker® Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
  (I used Ben's organic instant baby oats)
* 1  tablespoon baking powder
* 1/4  teaspoon ground cinnamon
  (I omitted this)
* 1/4  teaspoon salt (optional) (I omitted this)
* 1  cup fat-free milk (I used a packet of full-cream UHT milk)
* 1  egg, lightly beaten
* 2  tablespoons vegetable oil
* Aunt Jemima® syrup, warmed
(I omitted this)
* Banana slices (optional)
* Coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
(I omitted this)

What to Do?

* In medium bowl, combine banana slices and sugar; stir to coat slices with sugar. Set aside.
* In large bowl, combine flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; mix well.
* In medium bowl, combine milk, egg and oil; blend well.
* Add to dry ingredients all at once; mix just until dry ingredients are moistened. (Do not overmix.)
* Heat griddle over medium-high heat (or preheat electric skillet or griddle to 375°F). Lightly grease griddle.
* For each pancake, pour scant 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle.
* Top with four or five banana slices. Turn pancakes when tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked.
* Serve with warm syrup and, if desired, additional banana slices and nuts.

Hi farhana!
Yes, can pretty much replace banana with whatever you want! Mangoes, apples, peach, etc etc. My boy loves oats too!
