Almond-Oatmeal Banana Pancakes are high in protein and packed with vitamins and minerals.  These pancakes will keep you full and satisfied and are easy to whip up in no time. They are delicious, healthy, light, and fluffy and the recipe utilizes items in your refrigerator, pantry and freezer that you may not be using by adding them to the pancakes. Get creative and add berries or chocolate chips to your batter. If you aren’t a fan of cottage cheese, experiment with greek yogurt in its place. You won’t believe how good they taste, its like having dessert for breakfast. If you have any leftovers, you can even freeze and use them for future meals.
