I have always loved pancakes but making them required lots of unhealthy ingredients and I never liked the taste when I made them. Also I like them sweet so that I dont have to load them with syrups but I dont like adding sugar to make anything sweet.
I came across quite a few recipes on net and this one looked too good to be true. Almost a recipe masterpiece as far as pancakes are concerned.

All the ingredients are ususally in my kitchen so I could try it out immediately!
Here is my variation customized for Indian, relaxed household.
The ingredient list here makes 3 pancakes - small sized and I used my small cup for measurements.
0) 1 whole banana
1) 3/4th cup oatmeal
2) 1/4th cup atta (whole wheat flour)
3) 3/4th cup milk (soymilk for vegan - I think I will try with soymilk too as it has a nice subtle flavor also)
4) pinch of salt
5) baking soda 1 tsp (I used Eno as I didn't have baking soda and in the morning only 24 hour chemist below my house was open)
Mix all the dry ingredients first in the mixie (that is dont add milk and banana just yet). Once finely powdered only then add the banana and the milk and mix them all. Don't overrun the mixie. Add milk to adjust consistency if the batter is too hard.
If you have non-stick awesome but if not, pour a little oil (I use canola, but people say coconut oil tastes better with banana dishes). And pour the batter and make the pancakes. Trust me, they really taste good.
Only tip is cook on medium heat.
I will upload a picture soon. We just made 3-4 and it got finished off before I could click it. You can have them as is or have them with honey. Yummy.
If you have waffle maker, you can use the same batter to make awesome waffles. (Tip is add, 1/2 tblsespoon ground flaxseed for crispiness and half teaspoon of vanilla esssence).
I love waffles a lot too :).
