- Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a little cooking oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and place strawberries on top of the pancakes.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes or until small bubbles start to form, then flip and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes, or until cooked through.

- Store cooked pancakes in an airtight container and refrigerate.
*You can buy oat flour or make your own by blending the oats into a fine powder in a blender; be sure to measure again after blending to get the correct amount.
**The ripeness and size of the banana, the texture of the oatmeal, and other variables can affect the consistency of the dough. If the dough seems too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk at a time until the ingredients are smoothly mixed. If it seems too runny, add 1-2 more tablespoons of oats and mix to incorporate.
