banana oat pancake
This bananaoat pancake is with high protein, probiotic and minerals benefit.
I concocted these healthy mouth-watering pancakes using a traditional Indian recipe, which my mom used to make when the bananas used to get black colour and over ripe. We love them topped with dots of butter, scraped coconut and or dry fruits for breakfast, supper or even just snacking. They’re delicious drizzled with maple syrup or honey too if you want. I didn’t use because I wanted to make it sugar free and low fat.

If you want you can make some changes such as skip the egg whites, I have use because egg whites are considered as vegetarian food.
Use skim milk instead of milk. I have used yogurt to get probiotic benefit.
Drizzle maple syrup or honey on top to serve to the small kids.
Skip the garnishing part.
