Oatmeal and Banana Dairy Free Pancakes

This is an old recipe, from back when I was dairy free for Josh. I found it here.

Ingredients

• 2 cups rice, almond, or oat milk 
• 1-1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats 
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 
• 1/4 cup wheat germ 
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar 
• 1 tablespoon baking powder 
• 1/2 teaspoon salt 
• 2 eggs — beaten 
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil [use canola, extra-ligh olive, coconut, or grapeseed oil for soy-free] 
• 1 ripe banana — mashed with a fork

Instructions 

1. In bowl, pour milk over rolled oats; let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. 
2. In another bowl, stir together flours, wheat germ, sugar, baking powder, and salt. 
3. Beat eggs, oil, and banana together; add to dry ingredients along with milk/oats mixture, stirring just until mixed (if batter is too thick, add a little more milk). 
4. Heat a large greased skillet over medium to medium-high heat or a griddle to 350ºF. 
5. Pour in about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake and cook for about 3 minutes or until bubbles on top break but do not fill in, and bottoms are golden and set. 
6. Turn over and cook for about 30-60 seconds longer, or until nicely set and golden brown. 
7. Hold pancakes in a 200ºF oven until ready to serve.
