I know what you’re thinking: pancakes?? But believe it or not, pancakes can be incredibly healthy. These pancakes are flour free and full of protein. Plus, they taste amazing.

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 1 mashed banana (the riper/browner, the better)
• 1 packet of quinoa & oats instant mix (you can buy them at Whole Foods, or you can just add about 1/2 a cup of quick oats)
• a touch of cinnamon and vanilla for flavor
• optional add-ins: peanut butter, blueberries, or dark chocolate chips

Once you’ve mashed up your banana in a bowl, add the 2 eggs. Whisk this all together. Then, dump in your oats. Add some cinnamon and vanilla, mix it all up, and voila! Pancake batter! You cook them on a stovetop pan like you would with ordinary pancakes.

Personally, I like mine with blueberries and a few chocolate chips. The pancakes have a good amount of protein because of the eggs, but for an additional protein boost, add peanut butter.

(Also, of course there’s some Siggi’s yogurt lurking in the background… The perfect side or topping for these guilt-free pancakes.)
