Banana & oat pancakes

"If I call you "Darling", will you make me pancakes?"

Pancakes are the first thing I learned to cook in this life. Maybe she doesn't even remember, but my Mom taught me. I was so confused when she'd tell me to look at consistency and not count tablespoons. At that early time in my culinary discoveries, I wanted precise measures of everything. But please give some credit - I think I was 4 or 5 at the time.
