SkinnyTaste banana oat pancakes
We tried this recipe: https://www.skinnytaste.com/4-ingredient-flourless-banana-nut-pancakes/ Two modifications: first, in lieu of quick-cook oats, we used 2 Tbsp old-fashioned oats, which we coarsely chopped. Second, even with a Teflon-coated pan, we recommend lightly spraying with canola oil before pouring the batter. Otherwise, the pancakes stick to the pan. This was very tasty. We served with maple… Continue reading SkinnyTaste banana oat pancakes

Peel a medium banana and cut into ½" slices. Separately,… Continue reading Vanilla yogurt fruit bowl with granola

Banana oat pancakes
We made this recipe, but halved it: https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/banana-oatmeal-pancakes/ Our modifications: First, we disagreed with the general instructions to combine all ingredients in the blender.

Hot amaranth porridge
We tried this recipe: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1014313-amaranth-porridge?smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share Around 20 mins into simmering, we found the amaranth had already absorbed too much liquid, so we stirred in 2 Tbsp water. We served this with hot milk and extra maple syrup. (Nov. 2020)
