There is no reason why foods like pancakes and waffles should be saved for Sunday brunch, especially when they look as delicious as the Banana-Oatmeal Hot Cakes that Joe, at Culinary in the Desert, made recently. The pancakes are hearty, and include cooked oatmeal, which gives them a satisfying denseness that will fill you up at least until lunchtime. The best part about this breakfast was probably the spiced maple syrup that was served to top the cakes. It was made by steeping cinnamon and whole cloves in pure, buttery maple syrup, which was poured (while still warm) over the fresh stack of pancakes. Who wouldn't want to start their morning that way? The only way that these pancakes could look better is if they were sitting in front of me right now.
