Banana + Flax Pancakes

These pancakes are so easy and so versatile! I make them often and usually have some leftovers to keep in the fridge for easy snacks or I'll freeze some for an easy backup breakfast option when I don't have the energy for prepping food. What I love about these pancakes is how nutrient dense they are. Filled with fiber, omegas, magnesium, b vitamins, vitamin c, protein, whatever your milk is fortified with and so much more, these pancakes are a great option for feeding the family (especially any little ones growing in mamas belly!). You can even add blueberries or chocolate chips for extra yumminess.
