Bananaramma

So yesterday I decided I wanted some pancakes for breakfast this morning but I know that they are not always the healthiest thing and I wanted to try something new as well. So I tried searching for banana oatmeal pancakes and I found this AMAZING one which is low in calories and tastes delicious.


Banana Oatmeal Pancakes Recipe
4 servings

1 cup flour
2 tablespoons quick cooking oatmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/4 cup nonfat milk
1 tablespoon oil
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 egg whites
1 cup sliced banana

In large bowl combine dry ingredients. Stir until blended. In separate bowl combine milk, oil, syrup and egg whites. Whisk until blended. Pour liquid ingredients over dry ingredients. Mix until blended (batter will be lumpy). If too thick, add a little more milk. Brush griddle with oil lightly. Heat griddle over medium-high heat. Spoon 1/4 cup of batter onto hot griddle. Cook just until a few bubbles begin to appear. Arrange 4 banana slices on pancake and turn. Continue to cook until bottoms are golden. Turn carefully and cook until other side is golden. Serve with maple syrup.

So if you like pancakes and bananas I encourage you to give this recipe a shot cause it is Mmm Mmm Good. 

Oh and for a few extra variation Nutella would be FANTASTIC on these rather then maple syrup and I'm also going to give low fat whipped cream and strawberries a try with it. Nom Nom

Enjoy and Happy Eating!
