Made these this morning. They were fine. I had no problems..no sticking, looked like pancakes but of course, tasted a bit more bland than the pancakes we are used to. Welcome to the world of diabetes. I added cinnamon to to the mix and I topped with Vanilla yogurt and Blueberries. The yogurt gave the moisture that was lacking due to no syrup and it masked the blandness of the pancakes. Next time, I will add pumpkin spice .

Incredible outcome!!! I just made this and paired it with cauliflower hash, and blueberry sauce and it worked PERFECTLY for my meal plan, AND was absolutely delicious!!! If I didn’t know better, I would think this was all junk food, because it was just that good! Definitely recommend! Super easy! I recommend blending the batter though for just a few seconds for a smoother consistency and fluffier pancakes.

What is the blueberry sauce on top?

You will need to add salt. I'd also add more flavor, perhaps with cinnamon. They stuck to my non-stick pan, so consider spray. They will not look like the pancakes in the picture. This is the first recipe I've made from this site so now I'm apprehensive about all the others. There are better oatmeal pancake recipes out there which could be adapted to our dietary needs. I think I'll look for those.

I haven't tried the recipe yet because I am highly allergic to bananas, but I would love to know what would be a good substitute for banana in this recipe. Thank you. It looks delicious and I'm looking forward to being able to try it. :)

I love these pancakes! Great tasting and one of my favorite breakfasts! I like to let a banana get ripe so I can make them again!
