The Best Oatmeal Pancakes

6/7/2014

I know I've posted a few recipes for oatmeal pancakes already, but these are definitely my favorite out of the bunch! They cooked so perfectly and taste amazing! I drizzled some homemade date syrup which is also another favorite of mine from my blog but I'll go ahead and repost the recipe for that since it's so simple and delicious :).  Prepared my way, each pancake is around 80 calories without the fruit or syrup.

Ingredients:

2 cups old fashion oats

1 tbsp baking powder

2 packets Splenda

1 pinch of salt

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 whole eggs

1 cup almond/coconut milk blend

1 medium ripe banana

1/4 cup pitted dates

1/2 cup water

In a high-speed blender, add all of the dry ingredients; oats, baking powder, salt, and Splenda. Blend until it forms a flour. Add the milk, eggs, vanilla, and banana and blend on high for about another minute or so until it forms a batter, which will still be slightly lumpy. Spray a skillet with non-stick cooking spray and turn the fire to medium-low. Pour the batter into the skillet, forming what ever size pancake you prefer. I used about 1/3 of a cup of batter per pancake. Let cook until bubbles form, and flip to cook the other side. The recipe will make around 9 pancakes using 1/3c batter per pancake. Serve with fresh fruit of your choice. For the syrup, simply add the pitted dates and water to  a small pot and cook on medium fire until a syrup forms, stirring occasionally. If the syrup is too thick simply add more water until you get the consistency you're looking for.

Do the dates need to be chopped or do you leave whole? These look delicious!
