Ingredients:

• 2 medium spotty/ripe bananas
• 4 eggs
• ½ cup milk of choice
• ¾ cup oats
• 2 serves (50g) protein powder
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• Butter or oil for cooking in pan

Directions:

1. Place a pan on the stovetop on medium to high heat with oil or butter.
2. Add all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
3. Once the pan is hot, reduce the heat to medium heat and add batter to the pan. You can make 4 larger pancakes or a few more smaller ones. Cook on one side until bubbles start to form, then flip over and cook the other side (should take around 2-4 minutes).
4. Once pancakes are cooked, place them on a plate and cover with foil or in a warm oven.
5. Serve with your choice of Greek yoghurt, fresh or frozen berries, granola, honey or even maple syrup and some diced banana.
   
   

Notes:

• Add more milk if mixture is too thick
• If mixture is too runny, add more oats
• Oats are a great addition to breakfast as they are high in beta glucan (cholesterol-lowering), high in fibre and low GI which won't cause a spike and crash in blood sugar like some breakfast cereals with added sugar can.
