Dads love these. Kids too. Ok, I love them the most! >> Banana Oatmeal Pancakes
If you are looking for something to make for dear ‘ol Dad this weekend, this is it. Dad likes pancakes, right? He’d be crazy not to love these pancakes. They are fluffy, they have a delicious, cinnamony flavor, and there are bananas added in for good measure… because adding bananas to pancakes is the best idea ever in the entire history of ideas. Well… I guess not exactly that extreme, but let’s just say that pancakes with bananas baked into them is a darn good idea.
I’ve always and forever for so many years… LOVED bananas cooked INTO my pancakes. I don’t like them on top as much, but when they’re cooked into the pancake itself… that’s the way to get maximum enjoyment out of your pancake-banana combo.
When the bananas are cooked right along with the batter, they have a chance to get slightly caramelized from the heat of the griddle. That’s a very good thing indeed!
Another bonus: pretty much every bite you take from your stack of pancakes is likely to have a little bit of that caramelized banana in it. The Dad in my house gives this recipe a million thumbs up (because I taught him to love banana pancakes just the way I do) 🙂
Happy Father’s Day weekend to the awesome Dads out there!

I agree; cooking the bananas alongside the batter like that is amazing! So much caramelization and banana goodness going on 🙂 This looks like a really simple and tasty way to make a great stack of fluffy pancakes. Thanks, Lori!
I love banana pancakes, Lori, and I prefer my bananas cooked into them versus on top as well! This looks like a great recipe — healthy and tasty. And I love the oats!
