FAMILY RECIPE: Peanut Butter and Banana Oatmeal Pancakes with Pecan Syrup
Ingredients:
1 cup Oats
2 cups Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Salt
½ tsp Sugar
¼ cup Oil
½ cup Banana, peeled and smashed
3 tbsp Peanut Butter
2 cups Buttermilk
2 Eggs
2 tbsp Butter
1 Banana, peeled and sliced
1 cup Pure Maple Syrup
¼ cup Pecans, coarsely chopped

Method of Preparation:
Place the oil, banana and the peanut butter in a bowl and mix. Add remaining wet ingredients to that bowl. Combine all of the dry ingredients in another. Add the dry to the wet and stir until just combined; mix should still be lumpy. Do not over mix.  Ladle mixture onto a hot griddle with the butter and top with banana slices. Flip when air bubbles rise to the surface, cook for an additional 30 seconds. Place the syrup and the pecans into a small pot and heat gently over medium low heat until pecans are soft.  Do not let boil. Spoon syrup over pancakes to serve.
