Recipe for fit banana pancakes
Ingredients for 10 pancakes
2 bananas (200 g),
2 eggs,
about half a cup of instant oatmeal (70 g),
optionally 1 teaspoon of cocoa (5 g),
any additives for decoration e.g. fruit, nuts, peanut butter, honey,
a little fat for frying e.g. coconut or vegetable oil
Mix all the ingredients for the banana pancakes with a blender or stand mixer until smooth and the consistency resembles thin cream. If the mixture comes out too thick, you can add some milk or yogurt to get the desired consistency.
If we want our fit oatmeal pancakes to have a banana-chocolate flavor, then 5 grams of cocoa can be added to the basic ingredients. Blend all the ingredients together.
Fit banana pancakes can be fried on a Teflon pan even without fat, or with a small amount of it – just grease the pan with a silicone kitchen brush with a very thin layer of, for example, coconut oil. First of all you need to fry them on a well heated pan, but not too hot – if the pan is too cold, the pancakes won’t rise, if it’s too hot the pancakes will burn quickly. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side. It’s best to turn the pancakes over when bubbles appear on the top and before the top is evenly browned. Fry until they are browned on both sides.
To sum up, from the ingredients given in the recipe you will get about 10 hand size pancakes. You can add various toppings to the pancakes, such as fruit or peanut butter. A tablespoon of peanut butter (15 g) is about 95 calories, but even bodybuilders eat peanut butter before training.
