These strawberry-banana-oatmeal-buttermilk pancakes are perfect for Valentine’s Day {or any other day!}. I used my basic buttermilk pancakes as the base. You can mix and match the additional ingredients according to your taste. The oatmeal adds some whole grain to the pancakes; the mashed bananas make them extra tender; and the mashed strawberries {or strawberry jam} provide some sweetness and a light reddish hue which is festive for Valentine’s Day. Serve the pancakes with homemade whipped cream and fruit for an extra sweet treat. Happy Valentine’s Day!
