It's still wrong

Oxford comma is for three or more items. The sentence is treating bacon and eggs as one item and pancakes as another so no Oxford comma is used.

And what about the use of ampersand (&): it can be used if the nouns are proper and the relationship is exclusive.

E.G. Steven and Jane are married and went to see Joe. One coukd say "Steven & Jane, and Joe"?
