Island Pancakes

• 3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple tidbits
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

1. Drain pineapple and reserve liquid.
2. In a large bowl, mix the oats, milk, oil, banana, eggs, and 1/2 cup of the reserved pineapple juice.
3. Mix flour, baking powder and salt. Add to oat mixture. Beat well.
4. In a small saucepan, blend the cornstarch and syrup until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup reserved pineapple juice.
5. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes until syrup begins to thicken. Stir in pineapple pieces and remove from heat.
6. Heat griddle (when a drop of water dripped onto the griddle sizzles, it's ready). Spray lightly with cooking spray. Pour batter onto hot griddle, about 1/4 cup per pancake. Cook until batter bubbles and edges begin to look dry. Flip and cook until golden brown.
7. Serve pancakes with warm pineapple sauce.
