Ingredients
3/4 cup (one 6 oz. individual) plain 0% Greek yogurt (I use FAGE)
1/2 cup gluten free oat flour (I like Bobs Red Mill Gluten Free Oat Flour)
3 TBSP egg whites
1 large banana
1 TSP. baking soda
1 TSP. vanilla extract
Cinnamon a few shakes, to taste
Pinch of kosher salt
Agave nectar (*optional)
Directions
1. Spray a small frying pan with cooking spray (I like spray coconut oil) and set it over low heat.
Cut up a ripe banana into 1/4? slices and let it cook while youre making the batter (step 2).
Watch the pan and shut off the heat once the banana slices soften and become a beautiful,
flambed golden brown.
2. Combine 1/2 cup gluten free oat flour, 3 TBSP egg whites, 1 container of plain 0% Greek yogurt,
1 TSP vanilla extract, 1 TSP baking soda, cinnamon, and a pinch of kosher salt in a deep bowl.
Check your banana slices at this point, they should be finished.
3. Hand mix all of the ingredients thoroughly so that there are no clumps or cinnamon swirls. Dont
worry if the batter is overly thick. Note: Test out the batter once mixed. If it still tastes like baking
soda, continue to mix; if not, move on to step 4.
4. Fold in 1/2 of the flambed bananas. Save the second half to top your pancakes once finished.
5. Spray a second pan with cooking spray and place on low/medium heat. Add the batter to the pan
split into 3-5 pancakes, depending on desired size.
6. Flip the pancakes once little bubbles form (~ 4 minutes). Cook for an additional 3 minutes until
golden brown and fluffy.
7. Plate and top with the remaining flambed bananas and a little agave nectar drizzle. Feel free to
customize and add additional banana slices, blueberries, mango chunks, walnuts, agave, honey,
real maple syrup, etc. If its a post-workout meal, a little bit of extra sugar (in the form of agave,
honey, maple syrup) can kick start the growth and recovery process; if this is a normal meal or
snack, stick to whole fruit and nuts.
