Banana Cinnamon Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe banana, mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 scoop Dymatize Elite 100% Whey – Gourmet Vanilla
- ½ cup rolled oats or oat flour

Optional Toppings
- Banana slices
- Almond or peanut butter

Directions
- Step 1: Mash the Banana Use a fork to mash a ripe banana in a medium bowl until smooth. The riper the banana, the more natural sweetness your pancakes will have.
