If you are looking for a way to start your day with a healthy breakfast, these Oatmeal Banana Pancakes are a perfect choice.
Weekends are pancake or waffle days. I love trying out different pancake recipes, but my favorite would be the classic Pancake that I make. There are days (read most of the days), that I don’t have eggs and I needed to make an eggless version.
Also, I love the whole-grain pancake texture so try out any recipe that everyone in my family loves. My husband is not crazy about whole wheat pancakes and says that he prefers the classic ones.
Why Make Oatmeal Banana Pancakes
Recently I borrowed a book from the library called The Outrageous Oatmeals and this is the recipe I tried from that book.
The Oats Dosai that I made from this book was a big hit so I thought this recipe might do the trick with the pancake as well.
I am very happy that I succeeded in my effort and even my little one happily munched on the pancake. This pancake closely resembled the Nei appam and was very flavorful. I topped it with some fresh strawberries and maple syrup and we were filled up for the entire morning.
This is my entry for Cooking from the Cook Book Challenge for Week 2.
