How to serve these banana oat pancakes to baby

I served these banana oat pancakes on Munchkin White Hot plates so I knew when they were cool enough to serve.

These banana oat pancakes are so soft that they break up as soon as they go in your mouth. Dex loved the taste and ate two of the pancakes while I ate the other two.

Could Gerber baby oatmeal be substituted for the regular oatmeal? I’m looking to use up an opened container and these sound fantastic!

My little guy can't get enough of these and is now refusing all other pancakes (including previous favorites)! I've been using only 1 egg and adding 1/4 tsp baking powder.
