Banana Oat Pancakes

Growing up, I definitely indulged in my fair share of crepes and pancakes – I mean, is there really anything better than fresh pancakes drizzled with maple syrup? There is when you find a way to make them healthy! And not to mention gluten-free! Who ever said pancakes were only for cheat days?

Ingredients

• 1 large banana

• 1/2 cup of oats

• 1 egg (if you want to make this recipe vegan, try subbing the egg for a flax egg by combining 1 tbsp of ground flax seeds with 3 tbsp water – stir well, and place in the fridge to set for 15 minutes)

• 1/8 teaspoon baking powder

• Pinch of cinnamon

Instructions

1. Mash banana in a bowl

2. Grind up oats in food processor and add to mashed banana

3. Add in egg and mix well

4. Add in baking powder and cinnamon

5. Heat up a pan with butter (you can also use olive oil or avocado oil)

6. Add batter to pan (a few tbsp at a time, depending on how large or small you want your pancakes)

7. Cook on each side for 2-4 mins

8. Top off with some sliced bananas, fresh berries, almond butter, some maple syrup and enjoy!
