How to make Strawberry Banana Oat Pancakes
Breakfast is our favorite meal of the day. Therefore, I’m super excited to share a nutrient-dense pancake recipe with you. I was inspired by a restaurant in Los Angeles to create a recipe for nutritious pancakes. I couldn’t resist adding my usual go-to heart-healthy ingredients. I included oats, chia seeds, and flax meal for additional protein, fiber, and omega-3’s. Our scrumptious pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for 2 weeks.
