Directions:To make pomegranate syrup: Whisk juice and honey together in a small non-reactive saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then drop the heat to medium. Simmer mixture and reduce it to a syrup, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let syrup cool slightly before using. To make pancakes: Put bananas, milk and vanilla in a blender and puree until smooth. In a large mixing bowl whisk together ground oats, rolled oats, flour, salt and baking powder. Fold banana puree into dry ingredients to form a thick batter, taking care not to overwork it. Gently fold whipped egg whites into batter. Heat a large nonstick griddle coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add portions of batter (2 Tbsp. batter for small 4-inch pancakes, or 1/4 cup batter for larger 5-inch pancakes), leaving room for pancakes to expand as they cook. Cook until lightly browned, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Keep in a warmed oven. Serve with banana slices and a drizzle of pomegranate syrup. Serves 6. |
