Which instant oatmeal works best for these pancakes?

In the recipe below I used one of my favorite gluten-free instant oatmeal packets from Bakery on Main, but you can definitely use a more well-known brand like Quaker Oats if you wanted. Any instant oatmeal should do the trick, just make sure it's the instant kind. Raw oats won't cook fast enough in the pan and your pancakes will come out too chewy.

What are some great toppings for these pancakes?

Fresh fruit like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries are fantastic on these pancakes. I also like to drizzle honey on them or if you are feeling more traditional you can go with maple syrup, of course.

I would eat pancakes every single morning if it were up to me. The problem- if I did I might not fit through the doorway. Enter oatmeal banana pancakes: the best essence of real pancakes but MUCH better for you. Top with some fresh fruit and a little honey (or a lot if you are having a bad day, no judgment).
