Ingredients

2¼ c. quick-cooking oats

1½ c. all-purpose flour

1½ tsp. baking soda

1½ tsp. brown sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon (optional)

A dash of nutmeg (optional)

A dash of cloves (optional)

2 mashed bananas (optional, but makes the batter really fluffy)

3 eggs

3 c. buttermilk (or can substitute skim, regular, or whole milk without a problem)

½ c. and 1 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted

In a bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking soda and brown sugar. Add spices.  Combine the egg, buttermilk and butter; stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in mashed bananas.  Pour batter by ⅓ cupfuls onto a greased hot griddle. Turn when bubbles form on top; cook until second side is golden brown.
