1/2 cup melted butter (125 ml)
1 cup all-purpose flour (250 ml)
1 tablespoon brown sugar (15 ml)
3 teaspoon baking powder (15 ml)

In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Sift all the dry ingredients well and add the oats and bran.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and gently incorporate. Do not whisk, the batter should have some lumps. If batter is too thick add more buttermilk.
Gently stir in banana.
Melt butter evenly on hot griddle and spread all over grill.
Ladle pancake mixture about ½ cup (125 ml)onto griddle.
Flip pancakes when golden brown and little bubbles arise on surface. The pancake’s edges with lose their shine and become matted. Cook until the other side of the pancake is golden brown.
