Oatmeal Banana pancake

Ingredients:

1 cup uncooked rolled oats

1 cup whole wheat flour

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons dry milk powder

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 egg

2 cups milk

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 banana, mashed

Method:

Place the rolled oats into the jar of a blender and blend until the texture resembles coarse flour.

 Whisk together the blended oats, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, dry milk powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; set aside.

Whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Stir in the mashed banana

Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until moistened. Let the batter stand for 5 minutes.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle, and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, about 2 minutes. Flip, and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.

Yummy healthy breakfast is ready for you kids and family members.
