Banana-Oatmeal Pancakes with Spiced Maple Syrup
Serves 6
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cinnamon stick
3 whole cloves
Combine ingredients in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let steep for 15 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick and cloves with a slotted spoon. Set the syrup aside and keep warm.
1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup water
2 T firmly packed brown sugar
2 T canola oil
In a large microwave safe bowl, combine the oats and water. Microwave on high until oats are creamy and tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar and canola oil. Set aside to cool slightly.
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Whisk to blend.
1/2 cup low fat milk
1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1 banana, peeled & mashed
Add the milk, yogurt and banana to the oats and stir until well blended.
1 egg, lightly beaten
Add the egg to the oat mixture. Then add the dry ingredients to the oat mixture. Stir until just moistened.
Place a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat. When a drop of water sizzles, spoon 1/4 cup pancake batter into the pan. Cook until top surface of pancake is covered with bubbles and the edges are lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook until the bottom is well browned and the pancake is cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes longer. Repeat with the remaining batter. Keep pancakes warm between batches.
Place the pancakes on warmed plates, drizzle with warm syrup and serve.
Alternate topping: If you don't love syrup, warm some sliced bananas in a frying pan with a small amount of butter or oil and spoon them on top of the pancakes.

ETA THIS NOTE: I just made these tonight. If you like a banana flavor, add a second banana to the mix or serve banana slices on top. The syrup smells wonderful, but we did not notice a real spicy taste.
