My family loves pancakes, but we haven’t been able to break free from the easy pancake mix. You know, the one that isn’t very good for us!
I have tried a few “clean” pancake recipes and here is one I am settling on (for now ;). Healthy banana pancakes that are 21 Day Fix approved! Plus, with this recipe, you can eat more for less! Less containers that is! Usually, 1 pancake is considered a full yellow serving, but with the banana pancakes, you can eat 3 pancakes for ½ a yellow, ½ a red, and ½ purple serving. You’re getting in a protein and some fruit too! Plus, they’re super delicious! To be honest, I ate them all myself!
Ingredients
*Makes 6 pancakes.
Fix Portions (for 3 pancakes): 1/4 yellow, ½ red, 1 purple, 1/2 tsp
- 2 eggs
- 1 banana
- 3/4 cup oats
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce (I used a 4oz applesauce cup)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp all natural peanut butter
Directions
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth
- Pour onto a lightly greased griddle or griddle pan (I use coconut oil or coconut oil spray)
- Cook until lightly brown on both sides
- Drizzle with 1 tsp of 100% pure maple syrup
Optional goodness:
Add a favorite fruit (blueberries, strawberries, peaches, etc) or dark chocolate chips to the batter when the pancakes are on the griddle for an extra “sweet” start to your morning!
