Chobani Strawberry Banana Pancakes

It has been forever since I last posted JUST a recipe. I made pancakes for dinner tonight based on this recipe, with quite a few changes:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup old fashion oats, ground into flour

  • ½ c all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup old fashion oats

  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder

  • ¼ tsp baking soda

  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • ¾ c 2% milk

  • 1/2 cup Chobani (I used strawberry banana)

    Directions:

    In a mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients. In a second bowl, mix together wet ingredients.

    Combine wet and dry ingredients and let sit ~10 minutes.

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with non-stick spray. Scoop batter into pan using a cookie scoop. Let cook until small bubbles form. Flip pancakes and allow to cook an additional minute or two (until cooked through).

    Makes approximately 22 miniature pancakes:

    Next time, I want to add chopped strawberries and bananas into the batter. This time, I topped the pancakes with jam and a little syrup:

    Wedding Weekend

    This past weekend was the wedding of one of my best friends, Kelley. We have been besties since high school. Here is a summary in pictures. I wish I had taken more photographs of the delicious food.

    On the plane ride to Boston, I read Jenna’s book. It is a great, easy read.

    When we arrived in Boston, we picked up our hot rental mini:

    The first night, we went to the Lobster trap for delicious lobster and other goodies:

    Friday morning, I put on a group fitness class for a few of the bridesmaids, the bride, and the bride’s Mom (taking the picture Winking smile):

    Next, we hit up the Flying Bridge for lunch. The restaurant had amazing views of the water. The food was so-so. They did serve their drinks in Mason jar mugs (which I love):

    Friday night was the rehearsal dinner. The groom’s parents cooked ALL of the food. It was amazing. The pizza was the best part. Kelley sang a song to Steve- so cute!

    Saturday was the wedding. We were up and at ‘em early. We got ready in the adorable “onesies” that Kelley got us. I want to wear mine every day!

    I was NOT used to the temperatures up north. I stayed warm in Josh’s jacket:
