Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 banana, mashed
  2. 2 large eggs plus 2 egg whites
  3. 1 cup rolled oats
  4. 2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour
  5. 1 tablespoon sugar
  6. 1 tablespoon baking powder
  7. 1/8 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  8. A pinch of cinnamon
  9. A pinch of salt
  10. 2 teaspoons chia seeds
  11. Butter, for the pan
  12. Fresh berries and syrup, for topping

Instructions

  1. Combine the banana, eggs, egg whites, oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in a blender. Puree until smooth. Stir in the chia seeds.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush with butter to coat. Add 1/4 cupfuls of the batter to the pan to form pancakes. Cook until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 minute more on the second side. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
  3. Serve the pancakes immediately. Top with berries and syrup.

Fantastic! Nutritious, delicious and surprisingly light. Made as directed, but I used vanilla paste instead of the extract because that is what I had on hand. These are so good you really don’t even need syrup. You could do a simple dusting of powdered sugar or eat them plain! I zipped up the few that were leftover and will pack them for my breakfast on the go next week!

These are great! I feel like this recipe can be adjusted and added to every time you make them! We love chia seeds so I add more. Thanks!
