Oh, how I love these pancakes. I crave them throughout the day. I usually have them for breafast but if I am having a chocolate craving or want something sweet, I will have these for my afterschool snack. These are all that Lyle wants for breakfast anymore! I didn't make them for him at first. I just ate them in front of him while I gave him his cold cereal and poached eggs. He started begging for them and now they are his favorite too! lol
Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Small Batch
1/2 cup whole grain oat flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1 large egg white or use 2 tsp. dehydrated egg white
1 T mini Chocolate Chips
1 banana
2 T No fat Cool Whip
1/2 cup grated yellow or zucchini squash (optional)
All this plus a glass of skim milk for only 405 calories!
Mix all together. Heat your skillet with a little oil. When ready to use, mix 1/2 cup low fat buttermilk with the above mix. Let sit for about 10 minutes. Or if you don't have the time move on. Add water to reach a runnyish consistancy. You know what you like. Add the squash now if you like. The squash really doesn't add any flavor just changes the texture slightly. And how fun is that to eat a veggie for breakfast and not really no it?
Pour 1/4 cup pancake batter onto the hot skillet. Sprinkle with 1 tsp mini chocolate chips. When bubbles start to appear and leave craters, flip over. Cook for another minute or two. Place on plate chocolate chip side up. Well, that is just my personal preferance. Now make the second one the same way. When finished top with a sliced banana and 2 T Cool Whip. Sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of chocolate chips. Serve.
