Whole Wheat Oatmeal Banana (and blueberry!!) Panacakes

Phyllis really likes panacakes (yes, I know they are really called pancakes) and waffles.  I'm always trying to find new ways to make healthier food for my family (and friends).  It's hard to put blueberries in the waffle maker and I had some blueberries that I needed to use up, so I made these panacakes (I tripled the recipe and we use soy milk but they are just as good with 2%) and added about 2 cups of blueberries to the batter.  I made them in the afternoon, and almost every time Phyllis walked by, she grabbed one, no sugar, no syrup, just a yummy panacake.  You'll notice, the only sugar in this recipe would be the natural sugar from the bananas.  Also... a thrifty note, if your bananas are getting too brown, you can throw them in the freezer, and pull them out when making banana bread, cake, muffins, or panacakes.  They are super sweet because they are super ripe, and you're not wasting :)

1 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 C quick oatmeal
2 eggs , beaten
1 3/4 C milk
