This is a great meal to make after a good indoor session. And seeing that we can no longer pop into the store for banana bread, we may as well make our own version of a delicious breakfast.
It’s packed with good nutrition, being a great source of carbohydrates and protein as well as healthy fats and several other micronutrients to help you get that recovery process going!
Ingredients (makes roughly 4 medium pancakes)
• 1 cup blended oats
• 2tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 1 banana
Toppings (optional)
• Seeds
• Nuts
• Peanut butter
Method
1. Stir all the dry ingredients together.
2. Add in the wet ingredients (except for the banana) and stir together until combined.
3. Heat up a medium sized pan and spoon in a large spoon size of pancake mixture.
4. Finely slice the banana and place 5 slices on top.
5. Flip the pancake once one side is cooked.
6. Top off with peanut butter and some nuts and seeds or whatever else you heart desires 😀
Tip: heat up the peanut butter in the microwave to turn it into a sauce like texture!
