Easy Healthy Pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 old fashioned oats that you have run through a food processor or blender (I measure after running through food processor)
  • 2/3 cup oat flour this is more fine than the oats run through the food processor, some stores carry it or you can buy it online - I get Bob's Red Mill through Amazon
  • 3 tsp baking powder NOT baking soda, divided into 2 tsp and 1 tsp
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder I use Jay Robb Whey Protein Powder, but any would work, or you can just leave it out
  • 1 1/3 cup milk if desired you could use a soy milk, almond milk or other non dairy alternative
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • Optional - 2 single serving packets stevia sweetener I like Stevia In The Raw or you could use sugar, and you can even skip all together, ripe bananas and oats both give some sweetness.
  • Optional - these would be great with a handful of walnuts or pecans stirred into the batter

Instructions

  • In a blender or food processor, puree your bananas. You can smash them, but I find that pureeing them works wonderfully.
  • In a separate bowl combine oats that have been run through food processor, oat flour, 2 tsp baking powder, protein powder, salt and stevia if using it, or sugar. Mix well.
  • Combine pureed bananas, dry ingredients, milk, egg whites and vanilla in a large bowl, mixing until combined, but do not over mix.
  • Lightly spray a griddle or pan with non-stick cooking oil, then heat pan to medium heat. Right before starting to cook your pancakes, stir in the additional one teaspoon of baking soda, which will help puff up the pancake batter. It takes about a minute for that to happen, but it does, and it soaks up some of the liquid and makes the batter much more scoopable.
  • Scoop approximately 1/4 cup servings of batter onto your griddle (I use an ice cream scoop), flipping over once bubbles form on one side. Let second side cook until golden brown. Repeat until all batter is used and enjoy!
