Stephanie Izard's Oat Pancakes

[Jason Falls]

I was going to post a neat video from last weekend's Quaker Oats Living Proof blogger weekend of Top Chef winner Stephanie Izard's Oat Pancake recipe. Unfortunately, the show-and-tell was done in the cafeteria area at Quaker headquarters and the radio was playing in the background so you can't hear much. But, she sent us the recipe, too, so here it is for all interested:

PANCAKES

Ingredients
3 bananas
1/2 c milk
1/2 t vanilla
1/2 c ground oats
3/4 c oats

2 egg whites, whipped to soft peaks
sliced banana for garnish

Directions
Blend bananas and milk together in blender.
Transfer to bowl and stir in vanilla, oats, flour, baking powder and salt.
Fold in egg whites.
Spray nonstick griddle with pan spray and heat over medium heat.
Add in a few spoonfuls of batter, leaving room for when they expand.
Cook on each side until lightly browned.
To serve, top with banana slices and drizzle with pomegranate syrup.

Okay... What does it mean to "reduce until thickened?"
