Whole Wheat Oatmeal Banana Pancakes

These are amazingly tasty, especially for being pretty healthy!

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 5-10 minutes
Makes: 12-16 pancakes

• 1 cup uncooked rolled oats (blended)
• 1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons dry milk powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 2 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I use olive oil to be healthier)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1-2 tsp cinnamon
• 1  tsp nutmeg
• 1 banana, mashed

1. Place the rolled oats into blender and blend until the texture resembles coarse flour. Whisk together the blended oats, flour, dry milk powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; set aside.
2. Whisk together the egg, milk, oil, and vanilla. Stir in the mashed banana. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until moistened. Add cinnamon and nutmeg. Let the batter stand for 5 minutes before placing on the griddle or in the pan. Serve with sliced fruit- we like bananas and strawberries!
