1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup light brown sugar

DIRECTIONS
In large bowl, combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, brown sugar, buttermilk, eggs and banana; mix to combine. Allow batter to rest at least 15 minutes. Reserve about 1/3 of crumbled bacon for garnish and fold the rest into the batter.
Use reserved bacon fat to grease griddle. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto griddle preheated to medium-low heat. Cook pancake until small bubbles begin to form, flip the cake and cook through until browned. Serve with the reserved bacon and maple syrup.
Makes about 2 dozen 2-3 inch pancakes
