Banana Oatmeal Pancakes with Fresh Cherry Sauce – only a couple ingredients for these pancakes plus a bonus cherry sauce recipe, they’re good for you.
This morning I was in such a mood for pancakes, all I dreamt last night were pancakes. So of course this morning when I woke up I had to make some pancakes. But I love to try and develop new recipes, so here’s my latest and greatest creation.
We had bought some fresh cherries yesterday, so I made this cherry sauce that is to die for, and it’s simply perfect for some good pancakes. The cherry sauce could really be used on anything, for example it would be perfect to top a cheesecake with it, or pour some over some great ice cream, it’s so good.
These pancakes are a bit different too, they’re made with just a couple ingredients, bananas, eggs and oatmeal. They’re amazing, plenty sweet from the bananas and so good for your.

Nutrition Information:
I was surprised how easy and good these are. They cook quickly ( no floury dough to cook through) with whipped/blended eggs, bananas and oats. I used just 1/2 tsp baking powder and it was perfect. Pretty healthy (though we did add a smidge of butter on the plate. We had homemade blueberry jam so we used this in lieu of making cherry sauce. Yum.
So glad you enjoyed these!
