Oatmeal-Blueberry-Banana Pancake

For a simple, healthy breakfast, this pancake deserves 5 stars. It gives the body all the protein, fiber, and antioxidants needed to start each day the right way. Even though I cannot eat yogurt because I am lactose intolerant, mixing yogurt into the batter does not bother me. The baking powder makes the batter a little fluffier. I will definitely keep making this breakfast forever.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup oatmeal, ground to a fine powder
1/4 cup nonfat yogurt
1/4 cup blueberries
1 small banana or 1/2 of large one
1 egg
1 tbs honey
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp coconut oil or butter

Directions:
Combine all the ingredients except the oil or butter in a Vitamix or other blender and blend well.

Turn the griddle on to 320° or place a nonstick pan over medium-low heat.

Add butter, oil or both – I like to use both. Wait until the butter starts foaming. Pour the batter into the pan in a circular shape.

 Cover pan with lid for about 3 minutes on each side.



Transfer the pancake onto a serving plate and serve with more fruit, or some maple , strawberry, or blackberry syrup.
