These are so hearty, filing and delicious! They are perfect to start your morning or as a post workout pick-me-up. They are made without butter, sugar and all that stuff that's not so great for you, and give you a little extra with whole grain oats, whole wheat flour, peanut butter and bananas! PLUS; these are only about 250 calories for two pancakes! (Compared to Bisquick pancakes, for example, where there is around 900 calories in two cups of the mix alone- yikes!)
This is the original recipe, I think I found it on Pinterest once upon a time and it appears to originally be out of a magazine. I adapted it a little bit :-)
I only make half of the recipe, so this yields 3-4 medium sized pancakes!
3/4 cup skim milk (or soy milk or almond milk)
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 banana
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 Tbsp baking powder
1 Tbsp peanut butter
1. Blend milk and rolled oats in a food processor until mostly smooth.
2. Add banana and peanut butter, continue to blend until smooth.
3. Stir in flour and baking powder.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet on medium heat.
5. Spoon about 1/2 cup batter into hot skillet and cook until crisp and brown. Flip and repeat.
These are not your traditional, light, fluffy, super sweet buttermilk pancakes. They have a thicker, heavier texture that is intended to really fill your belly. I spread a little more peanut butter on top of mine, add some sliced banana, and just a little bit of sugar free maple syrup. They are so good, and good for you!
