Oatcakes are quickly becoming my fave breakfast food. They are soooooo much easier to make than pancakes, which makes them a nice weekday breakfast. They are packed with tons of healthy stuff. And they are delicious! Win-Win-Win!

When I first began making oatcakes, I used egg whites. http://sweet-success.tumblr.com/post/8042876519/lets-eat-cinnamon-oatcakes-with-applesauce 

Then I experimented with banana. http://sweet-success.tumblr.com/post/16409228157/lets-eat-chocolate-banana-oatcakes

Both options are great. Using banana adds more sweetness. I don’t think the recipes that use banana need a topping like the Cinnamon Oatcakes with Applesauce. But using egg does add protein. Try both!

I added some ground flax for some extra nutrients. Flax contains lots of good Omega-3 fatty acids and is said to help reduce cholesterol.

Blueberry Banana Oatcakes

1 ripe banana, mashed

1/2 cup oats

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. ground flax

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1/4 cup blueberries

Mash the banana. Add all ingredients except blueberries and stir. Gently fold in blueberries. Make 2 pancakes and place in medium pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray over medium heat. Cook on each side until lightly browned.

Enjoy.
