Growing up, oatmeal was one of my breakfast worst enemies. Luckily I turned things around, and found a way to enjoy it. Sugar. Yep. That’ll do it. Another couple of magic ingredients also help turn oatmeal from a nightmare, to a dream come true. Two of my favorite ingredients that help jump start oatmeal into a tastier dish are bananas, and peanut butter. Yes, this is another perfect use for those frozen, over-ripe bananas you have been saving for that banana bread you never made. This recipe is like a vortex of cinnamon and sugar, peanut butter and banana pancakes. Sounds pretty great right?
Another key to making this dish even better, is to use a cast iron skillet. Cast iron on a smoker is the secret to happiness in life. Just trust me on this. It’s true. Throw this quick mixture together, put it in a cast iron pan, and let it bake on the smoker. You won’t regret this super simple breakfast.
