Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten free if desired)
- ½ medium banana
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup plain greek yogurt (2% or whole is best, nonfat works too)
- pinch of salt (optional but recommended)
- toppings of choice
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until completely smooth, about 30 seconds. Let the batter rest for 2 minutes. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon of milk to thin it out.
- Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray and heat over medium-low.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, and add desired toppings like chocolate chips or blueberries.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
- Wipe the skillet clean, reapply cooking spray as needed, and repeat with the remaining batter. This makes 4 pancakes.
Notes
For a vegan version, substitute the egg with flaxseed meal mixed with water.
Add protein powder for an extra boost in nutrition.
Experiment with different toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, or yogurt.
