Pancakes

There is nothing better (in my opinion) than whipping up a batch of pancakes and then eating the whole stack and not feeling guilty about it because they are healthy and good for you!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup of quick oats
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon chia seeds
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 medium banana, mashed
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

• Put the oats, flour, and chia seeds into your blender and blend until it becomes the consistency of flour.
• Add the other ingredients into the blender and blend until the batter is smooth.  Add a bit of water if the batter seems to think, I add 1/2 tablespoon of water at a time.
• I use a tablespoon to pour my pancake batter into a nonstick pan, I usually do a couple tablespoons per pancake.  Cook until the edges start to brown, flip and repeat.
