OMG at CG Optical we all love pancakes! To celebrate Shrove Tuesday, we thought we’d give you a healthy pancake recipe that your eyes could really benefit from.

Eye-healthy banana oat pancakes

We’ve chosen this recipe because oats are incredibly beneficial for your eyesight as they contain a high level of vitamin A. Vitamin A contributes to your eyes’ health because of the beta-carotene, which allows the retina of the eye to function correctly. Research also shows that oats decrease the chances of night-blindness, age-related macular degeneration and fight off the formation of cataracts.

Ingredients

  • 2 bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • maple syrup to serve (optional)
  • fresh fruit of your choice to serve

Instructions

  • In a blender, combine the peeled banana, eggs, oats, baking powder and salt.
  • Allow to blend until the mixture is as smooth as you want it and blended well. Allow the batter to stand for 10-20 minutes until thickened slightly.
  • Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  • Fry spoonsful of the batter until golden brown on both sides.
  • Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup and fresh fruit of your choice.

ENJOY!
