Young or old, show your Dad how much you love him with a healthy breakfast this Father’s Day!

Banana Oatmeal Pancakes!

Packed with fiber and full of flavor!

                Oatmeal is a heart healthy food that has been proven to lower cholesterol and helps you feel full longer because it is packed with fiber! Read more about health benefits of oatmeal!

Ingredients:

1 cup of old fashioned oats

1 t baking powder

1 cup mashed bananas

1t vanilla

1 T unsweetened Apple Sauce

½ t Cinnamon

¼ t Nutmeg

2 Eggs beaten

Step #1: Turn griddle to 350 degrees or grease and set aside a large frying pan!

Step #2: Place old-fashioned oats into food processor and blend until flour like consistency.

Step #3: Put approximately 2 bananas into food processor and blend until smooth. Measure mashed bananas. If not a cup, blend more.

Step #4: With a spoon, mix bananas, vanilla, apple sauce, eggs and spices together. Then add blended oats and baking powder to mixture.

Step #5: Pour mixture onto griddle. Make pancakes whatever size you desire. 

 Step #6: Flip pancakes over when you see batter bubbling around the edges! Leave on griddle for roughly 3 more minutes.

Step #7: Finally, serve pancakes! I suggest serving with fresh fruit and scrambled eggs. Also, of course top the pancakes with maple syrup. I have also found that honey is a great topping choice!

Enjoy breakfast and be thankful for your Dad this Father’s Day, I know I am!

Best Dad Ever!
