Protein Packed Banana, Greek Yogurt Pancakes

I love finding healthy recipes for breakfast food because breakfast food is sort of my comfort food group.  Who can resist a good pancake?  These pancakes are so filling and have more protein than the regular 1 banana, 2 eggs protein pancakes floating around the internet.  I added some sprinkles into mine as a celebration to myself for finally getting back into a workout routine so while they are not necessary, sprinkles are awesome anyways.  Sprinkles are for winners.

Protein Packed Banana, Greek Yogurt Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup old fashioned oats (100% whole wheat)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 4 tablespoons non fat Greek yogurt
• 1 medium ripe banana
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients into a blender, blend until smooth.
2. Coat pan with light butter or cooking spray and heat to medium-low heat.
3. Drop batter onto pan and cook until bubbles form on top, flip.
4. Repeat.

You can of course top with whatever you want (fruits, whipped cream, syrup, etc.) mind you, the entire batter counts for around 400 calories.  Enjoy and be healthy!
