Recipe for "healthy pancakes"

This is a recipe I've been experimenting with for the past couple of years for a pancake alternative, with less sugar, more fiber, and more nutrients. Enjoy! 

Ingredients: 

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 egg (or egg whites)
  • Cinnamon 
  • Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • Raw oats 
  • Vega vanilla protein powder (optional)
  • Chopped strawberries (optional)
  • Chia seeds (optional)

For extra sweetness, top with:

  • Raw, organic honey (keep it local - great for allergies🐝)
  • Unsweetened organic applesauce

1.  Mash banana in a bowl 
2.  Add egg, scramble together with banana
3.  Add raw oats (I usually eye-ball it, but approximately 1/4 cup)
4.  Add chia seas (1 tablespoon)
5.  Add 3 tablespoons almond milk, and let these ingredients sit for 30 minutes so the oats and seeds       soften
6.  After letting soak, add cinnamon (to taste) and vanilla protein powder (1/2 scoop)
7.  Oil pan using butter or non-stick spray as you would for normal pancakes, add strawberries after        pouring

This recipe makes 1 large pancake.  Recommended to cook in small circular pan, covered so it cooks thick, which makes it easier to flip (more prone to breaking apart than regular pancakes - but tastes great messy too!)
