We are back w/Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

First I have to apologize for being so late! This household has had,what seems to be the "turmoil of the year"! Hubby had some medical issues,but all is winding down-and for this house-hold we are back to our normal!!!!
My dear friend Heather, (also known as adopted daughter) sent this recipe she found, courtesy of Rachael Ray on line. After she tried it herself and had NOTHING BUT RAVES.she passed it on to the Cookery book for us ALL to try! They not only sound YUMMY, but also healthy.
NOOOO-I am not jumping n the "Health-nut" bandwagon! My theory is MODERATION in ALL we do and eat. Sometimes the recommendations from the nut&berry crowd sneaks in! Well it can't hurt!

ingredients:
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 ounces, 1/4 cup, chopped walnuts
3/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 really ripe bananas, mashed up
3/4 cup raisins
1/2 stick butter, 1/4 cup, melted, plus additional for buttering skillet
Maple syrup or honey, for drizzling
Directions
Here's a great tip: if you cannot find really ripe bananas, just nuke them in the microwave for about 15 seconds and they will become super soft for mashing.

Mix dry ingredients, the first 7, in a bowl. In a another bowl, mix the wet ingredients, the next 4. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined, then fold in the mashed up bananas and the raisins. Stir in the melted butter.

Heat a griddle over medium heat and brush with additional melted butter. Cook pancakes, each about 1/3 cup, until bubbles form on the top, then turn. Cakes will cook in about 2 minutes on each side. Keep pancakes tented with foil as they come off the griddle to keep them hot. Serve with drizzled honey or maple syrup over the top.

I am assuming that the walnuts may be omitted if there is a "Nut Issue"!
I am planning to test them over this weekend-if you do the same-Let me know what you think!
