Ingredients
- 1/2 cup egg whites*
- 1/3 cup organic rolled oats
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 banana, quartered and chopped
Instructions
- Combine oats, baking powder, egg whites, peanut butter, 1/4 banana, and cinnamon in a blender and mix until you have a batter.
- Coat a non-stick pan with cooking spray and heat over a medium heat. Pour pancake patter into the pan (the batter may be a little runny around the edges, so using a rubber spatula, gently pull the runny edges towards the center of the pancake).
- Sprinkle in remaining chopped banana (or any other stir-in you prefer!).
- Once the pancakes firm and set up (this will take two minutes) flip and cook for another minute or until cooked through. Enjoy!
- I love to serve these pancakes topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a few extra slices of banana.

Notes
I love using egg whites in this recipe because it adds lots of protein and keeps the pancakes light and fluffy. If you prefer, you can swap two whole eggs in their place or use two flax or chia eggs for a plant based alternative.
This recipe is sweetened by the banana. If you want to add a bit of extra sweetener, try adding a couple teaspoons of maple syrup to the batter.
