Banana Pancakes

"These pancakes are light, healthy and best of all delicious! Serve with a cup of unsweetened berries instead of syrup and it is a perfect breakfast!!! These are great if you are watching your weight and want a pancake - no sugar or saturated fat."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Yields: 12 pancakes
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 1 large banana, ripe (or two smaller ones)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1⁄2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I like EAS whey protein or Myoplex)
• 8 ounces egg whites

directions

1. You will need a hot skillet, so you may want to warm it up now.
2. Cut the banana into chunks.
3. Place all ingredients into a blender.
4. Blend to mix ingredients (chop the oats and smooth out the banana).
5. Pour batter into skillet forming pancakes.
6. When bubbles appear on the top, give them a flip.
7. Pancakes are done when golden on the bottom.
8. Note: I use a non-stick skillet and do not add any fat or spray to keep the pancakes from sticking. You may have a different experience, so if you need to use something to keep the cakes from sticking to your pan, do it!
