Banana and oat pancakes

It's Sunday! The perfect excuse to treat myself with pancakes - or my healthier version. They only take 10-15 minutes to prepare and cook but the oats keep you fuller for longer than any normal pancake would.

Ingredients (3 small pancakes, to serve one)
1 ripe banana
20g oats
1 egg white
1 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp mixed spice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)

Method

  1. Mash half the banana with a fork, leave the other half for later. 
  2. Add the oats, egg white, mixed spice and vanilla (or protein powder) and mix. If the consistency is too thick, add a little milk. It should be of a dropping consistency. 
  3. Add a very small amount of olive oil to a frying pan on medium heat. 
  4. Drop about a tablespoon of the mixture into the pan and flatten into a scotch pancake sized circle.
  5. Be ready with your spatula, it doesn't take long to cook! 
  6. When the bottom side has cooked enough to be able to turn, flip the pancake over. It should only take 2-3 mins overall.
  7. Plate up and serve with yogurt and the remaining banana/whatever other fruit you fancy. Kiwi is a particular favourite of mine, along with chia seeds.
