Everyday Pancakes
A small bowl of oatmeal, a banana, some Greek yogurt, and an egg — sounds like a healthy breakfast to me! Keep reading to find out how you can turn these healthy foods into something that feels so ‘bad.’
Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 1 very ripe banana
- ½ cup skim milk
- 1 ¼ cup rolled oats
- 1 5.3-oz container non-fat Greek yogurt*
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp baking soda**
- 1 pinch salt
*I like to use strawberry yogurt for added flavor.
**To avoid clumping, sift before adding to the batter.
Directions
- Lightly coat the bottom of a pan with zero-calorie cooking spray. Allow the pan to warm up over medium low heat while you make the batter.
- Blend banana, milk, and oats until smooth.
- Add remaining ingredients and blend once more until all ingredients are combined.
- Once the pan is warm, add as much or as little batter as you’d like. The batter will be a bit thin, so pour accordingly. I typically use ⅓ cup portions.
- When bubbles start breaking through the top, flip the pancake.
- Continue cooking until the pancake is cooked through.
- Top with your favorite topping(s) such as yogurt, berries, or maple syrup!
