I've become completely
obsessed with oatmeal. I had been eating my banana oatmeal (which I make in a
bowl with the same ingredients) for well over a year and I had hit a wall and
just had enough. After having different breakfasts that just weren't satisfying
me the way my oatmeal did ... I decided to take my simple oatmeal recipe (with
the elimination of almond milk) and make them into pancakes. Same stuff,
different form - i.e. reverse psychology on my own mind. It's
legitimately the same thing, it's just in a pancake form and I add a
little fruit and sugar free maple syrup over them.
So far it's been a winner. I've been eating these for a few months now and I absolutely love them. The recipe is really simple to throw together. I actually incorporate these into my meal prep every week. I whip up 3 batches and store them in ziploc bags and take them out as I need them every morning. A quick 2 minutes in the microwave makes them perfect.
They're not a light and airy pancake. They're dense,
filling and pack a substance punch.
Recipe:
Makes 2 servings of
pancakes
For Weight Watcher members: 5 smartpoints/points plus
per serving
1 cup quick cook oatmeal
¾ c egg whites
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 tbsp vanilla
(adjust to your liking)
2 packets stevia (or
whatever sweetener you prefer)
1 tbsp cinnamon (adjust to
your liking)
Mash banana in bowl, add
in all other ingredients and mix until combined.
Heat a non-stick frying
pan, sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, over medium-high heat. Use a
measuring cup (I prefer 1/4c) and evenly distribute the pancake drops onto the
pan, smooth out gently with the bottom of the measuring cup. Fry the
pancakes for roughly 4-5 minutes. Bubbles will not form as in traditional
pancake mix. Flip once the bottom is browned and firm enough to flip, then cook
evenly on the other side.
Enjoy!
