Fun Pancake Sunday!!

{ Finished pancakes with sugar free syrup }

  

Today we made oatmeal pancakes .  I got the recipe from allrecipes.com { my favorite online spot for finding fun new recipes to try }.  I didn't have buttermilk though so I substituted regular milk instead.  And I decided to add a chopped up banana as well.  

 

As always I had to make a batch of regular pancakes for my kids, just to be safe.  I can't stand listening to them whine and complain first thing in the morning because I never make the kind they like.

{ cooking, the bananas make them really chunky }

{ finished pancakes, don't they look yummy! }

I ate 4 of them and am so super stuffed now!  I thought they were very good and the oatmeal gave them a nice texture.  I definitely recommend the bananas.  Next time I might try adding raisins instead.
