What’s for breakfast Las Vegas! Looking to lighten things up after going off the rails with my eating plan. Pulled back out this recipe from SkinnyTaste.com. Love their recipes! 100% all theirs I just mix mine differently to make them more airy and light.
Start out with my favorite Magic Bullet mixer. Makes this so easy and clean up a breeze!
I put the egg in the bottom. I do this to incorporate the ingredients thoroughly so I don’t waste any in the cup that doesn’t make it into the pan. I am greedy that way.
A little spice on top. Then add the banana in little pieces. I just break my banana down by hand.
Blend until you have some bubbles in the mixture telling you it’s ready. (30-45 secs in the Magic Bullet depending on size of banana used)
Add a heaping tablespoon of oats. I have used both old fashioned and quick oats. I really can’t tell the difference. For this instance I am using store brand old fashioned oats.
Blend until oats are incorporated. (30 secs in the Magic Bullet)
Heat your skillet. I spray a little avocado oil in mine. First pancake will have slightly crispy edges. Next one is perfection! I currently use a tiny electric skillet. I cook one pancake at a time. I have used a stove top skillet and done all three at the same time. Just a matter of preference. Either way, I preheat the skillet on a low temperature (300) until I can splash a little water on it and hear it pop.
In my case I divide the mixture for two pancakes. Once mixture is in the pan I sprinkle with chopped walnuts. I set the timer for 4 minutes on the first side. One flip and 4 more minutes on the second side.
I cover the first pancake with the skillet lid on the plate while I cook the second. Stays perfectly warm until the second one is ready.
Voila! Ready to eat and enjoy! So light and yummy!

You could easily sub in pecans instead of walnuts. You could add fruit. I have thought about adding dried cranberries to mine. Likely will try that at some point.
