Vegan Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Pancakes

Vegan Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup rolled oats (Quick oats will work too)
• 1/4 cup nuts (I used walnuts. They went well with the chocolate chips!)
• 2 & 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• Dash of nutmeg
• 1 banana
• 1 cup almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
• 1/4 cup applesauce (Original recipe called for 1 egg. If you choose to use an egg, remove 1/2 tsp of baking powder.)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Handful of chocolate chips
• Optional: 1 tsp. of Peanut Butter & Co. White Chocolate Wonderful Peanut Butter (I added this into the batter last minute. I’m not sure if it really made a difference or not, but it definitely didn’t hurt!)

Instructions

1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, oats, nuts, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
2. In a separate bowl, mash 1 banana, then add milk, applesauce, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour liquid ingredients over dry ingredients and mix until well-blended. Stir in chocolate chips. (Optional: Stir in White Chocolate Wonderful)
4. Warm a skillet and coat with oil, butter, or cooking spray. Pour batter onto skillet, about 1/4 cup for each pancake and cook until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side).
