Healthy Pancakes- Quick and Easy

Healthy Pancakes

Serves 1-3 people. Makes heaps of small ones so if you want to eat heaps they are fine for one person.

Ingredients

• 2 bananas
• 3 eggs
• 2 tablespoon of oats (rolled or already blended up)

Method

1. A splash of milk (optional)
2. Put all of the ingredients in a blender.
3. Pour onto a non-stick/ greased pan. 
4. Cook.
5. Add topping if wanted and enjoy.

If you want to make a smaller serving you can make it with 1 banana, 2 eggs and 1 tablespoon of oats. I used to follow that recipe. However recently I made a larger serving with 2 bananas rather than 1 but we only had 3 eggs left rather than 4, and found the ratio of 2 bananas : 3 eggs much more successful in making perfectly shaped and tasting pancakes.

Honestly, these pancakes taste just as good as a normal pancake mixture. The banana makes them super sweet and they do not taste like an omelette at all due to the addition of oats and milk. It is also extremely easy. You can pour the mixture straight out of the blender. It is just as quick and simple as a shaking pancake mix and taste 10 times nicer and is 10 times healthier.
