Banana-Oat Pancakes
3/4 C. dry oats (quick cooking or old fashioned) OR oatbran
2 C. skim milk or soy milk
1 C. whole wheat pastry flour (Substitute 1 1/2C. whole wheat flour and 1 1/2C. all-purpose flour for whole wheat pastry flour)
1T baking powder
1 egg (or 2 egg whites)
2 bananas
3/4 C. chopped walnuts (optional)
Mix oats and milk together in a medium size bowl and let them sit for 5 minutes to give them extra soaking time. Mix flour and baking powder in another bowl, then add the oats and stir. Gently mix in the eggs. Slice bananas very thin. Fold with nuts into the batter. Heat griddle over med-high heat, spray with cooking spray. Use 1/4 C. of batter for each pancake, cooking over medium heat for about 2 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip the pancakes and cook for another minute or so. Serve with reduced calorie syrup, fruit spread, or applesauce on top.
