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

  1. 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. 
  2. Blend banana, milk, and oats until smooth. 
  3. Add remaining ingredients and blend once more until all ingredients are combined.
  4. 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.
  5. When bubbles start breaking through the top, flip the pancake.
  6. Continue cooking until the pancake is cooked through.
  7. Top with your favorite topping(s) such as yogurt, berries, or maple syrup!

Note: Because this recipe uses rolled oats, the texture of the pancake is a bit grainier than most. For a smoother pancake, use ½ cup all purpose flour and ¾ cups rolled oats. The nutrition facts for this variation are as follows:
