Notes
If you use quick-cooking oats, you won't need to soak the oats in the egg whites for one minute. I made my pancake extra thick and it still only took about four minutes to cook. I used coconut oil non-stick spray, which is probably your healthiest choice for sprays. And of course, you could swap out the mashed-up banana for blueberries or another fruit and top the pancake with whatever you like. The options are endless.
