Banana Oat Pancakes
Mashed banana gives these small oat pancakes their sweetness and helps bring the batter together. They make a relaxed breakfast with ingredients that may already be in the cupboard and fridge. Keep each pancake small enough to turn easily, and use moderate heat so the egg-containing center sets before the outside becomes too dark.

FDA handling and storage conditions
Ingredient substitution
Keep both eggs and the mashed banana in this batter. Eggs set the pancakes and banana supplies moisture; removing either needs a different batter formula, not a one-for-one swap.
