How to Serve Fluffy Banana Oat Pancakes with Blueberry Compote

Serving is the fun part! Stack those pancakes high on a plate and drizzle the bright blueberry compote over the top.

Tips to Make Fluffy Banana Oat Pancakes with Blueberry Compote

• Ripe Bananas: Make sure your bananas are spotty and ripe. The sweeter, the better!
