Ingredients
3/4cupall-purpose flour
1/4cupwhole wheat flour
½cupoats(old fashioned or quick oats)
1teaspooncinnamon
2teaspoonsbaking powder
1banana
1cupmilk
1egg
1teaspoonvanilla
1cupfrozen or fresh blueberries
½cupchopped unsalted pecans
Cooking spray OR butter
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the two types of flour, oats, baking powder, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, mash the banana with a fork. Add the milk, egg, and vanilla to the mashed banana and stir.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spoon. (It is fine if the batter is chunky.) Add the blueberries and pecans to the batter and stir.
Heat a frying pan or griddle to medium high heat. Spray the pan with cooking spray or coat with butter. Pour the batter onto the hot pan in pancake circles.
Heat on one side until tiny bubbles start to form in the pancake (about 3-4 minutes). (If the pancake gets too dark, turn the heat down slightly.) Flip the pancake and cook for 3-4 minutes on the other side. Top with banana slices, a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar, or a drizzle of syrup
Notes
Tip: To keep the pancakes hot while making multiple batches, place them in a heated oven.
