Healthy Eats: Banana-Oat Griddle Cakes

By Trish Coffman

These were inspired by a need to get carbs and a little protein to our muscles quick — whether to fuel our workouts or to refill the tank post-ride.

These whip up fast and go down easy — and are extra tasty with almond butter and honey on top.

You will need:

• 2 cups oats
• 2 very ripe bananas
• 1/4 cup plain yogurt
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• pinch kosher salt

Combine all ingredients in a blender and mix until a smooth batter forms. Pour 1/4-cupfuls onto a hot griddle (set to 350 to 375 degrees) or cook in a nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat.
