Yes, I am aware that the title is a mouthful, well so are these pancakes once you get done with them! I also did add dark chocolate chips to them. I know, how terrible of me. However, I made these on a Saturday; a day my husband & I tend to wake up super late, thus having brunch.
Obviously this is not a treat to make every day, especially since Calorie Count rated it as a C+ recipe, but it was nice to venture from the frozen waffles & cereal Saturday breakfasts.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup uncooked rolled oats
1 3/8 cup whole wheat flour
1/8 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp dry milk powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp egg whites
1 cup soy milk
1 tbsp unsweetened apple sauce
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 banana, mashed
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl & let the batter sit for 5 minutes (this is crucial so that the pancakes do turn out light and fluffy)
Cook on a griddle on medium heat for 2 minutes on one side & 1 on the other.
This batch makes 8 pancakes (more or less, depending on the spoonfuls) The nutritional information below is based off of 1 pancake from an 8 pancake batch (hope that makes sense! lol)

Obviously you can use whatever milk/lubricant/eggs you want, but I was trying to go for making it as healthy as possible.
Remember, this isn't an every day type of breakfast because of the calories & the fact it was rated C+, but every now & then is good!!!
Enjoy & bon appetit!
