Banana Oat Pancakes

Looking for a healthy, gluten free pancake that isn’t packed with sugar and other artificial ingredients? Look no further. This recipe has 4 simple ingredients that you most likely have on hand.

I first came up with this recipe in high school while working as a cook at summer camp. I was making pancakes for all the campers and counselors wishing so bad that I could have one, but sadly they weren’t gluten free. At camp we didn’t have access to any fancy gluten free products so I had to be creative with the simple ingredients we did have. I found bananas, eggs, oats, and chocolate chips and whipped up these pancakes.
