Banana-Egg-Oat Pancakes & Waffles!
My general rule of thumb when cooking healthfully is – where can I shove more superfoods, greens, lean proteins into my regularly scheduled programed meals to make my life as easy and delicious as possible? I love recipes where I can add in superfoods, seeds, and protein powders.
This recipe can be made into either pancakes on a griddle or sauté pan, or waffles with a waffle maker. They are super simple, take just 5 minutes, and they keep well for a make-ahead breakfast or snack. I also love to make a big batch of this (4 – 6 batches) to have as a handy snack throughout the week.
