Banana and oatmeal pancakes

When I was a child, there was nothing I expected more on a Sunday breakfast than a warm homemade pile of pancakes. With syrup, conserve or just butter, it was a bad habit to eat them. After I turned 20 I stopped having them, not because of lack of time or diets, it was just that the excitement over pancakes was over, and now they only featured in my breakfast every blue moon.

Now with my kids, I find sweet breakfast more appealing, but as I've grown older I find it harder to sit and have a meal made of flour and sugar... so, searching in the vast universe of information available on the net, I found a recipe that I believe is nutritious and fits perfectly my 3B guideline (from the words in Spanish "bueno"= good, "bonito"= nice, "barato"= cheap). I made them and thought about sharing the results with you. Happy pancake's Sudays!

Ingredients (makes 8 pieces)

3 ripe bananas
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups of oatmeal
1 cup of milk
1 pinch of cinnamon
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1 tsp of baking powder
20 gms of melted butter (optional)

Procedure

1. Mash the bananas until you get a smooth mix. Add the butter.
2. Add the eggs, baking powder and oatmeal. Mix them and add milk little by little.
3  Add cinnamon and vanilla.
4. Pop a large previously greased pan over a medium heat, pour a spoonful of the batter and swirl so that the pancake is not too thick. When you see bubbles forming on the surface, it's time to flip it over. Cook for one more minute and ready!

Enjoy.
