Chocolate Chip Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

Happy Monday, Friends! Today I'm sharing a chocolate chip banana oatmeal pancake recipe using homemade oat flour. They're nutritious, filling, and will satisfy your craving for sweets...

Here's what you'll need: 

2 cups oatmeal 

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

2 mashed bananas

1 tsp vanilla

1 egg

1 cup chocolate chips

Whipped cream garnish

First: Grind 2 cups oatmeal into flour consistency, stir in baking powder and cinnamon. Next: Blend mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla. 

Then: Stir in dry ingredients until mixture is smooth. Last: Add chocolate chips, and cook on a hot buttered griddle. They are plenty sweet without syrup but I like to garnish them with whipped cream. Enjoy!
