Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes

 I love making a REAL breakfast on the weekends because I finally have TIME to do so.

I'm always rushing during the week to get just a bowl of cereal in right before work.

So I decided to change it up and make these delicious banana oatmeal chocolate chip pancakes.

These pancakes are incredibly light and fluffy!

And best part is they're healthy!

No added processed sugars, butter, eggs etc.

And yet they taste just as great, if not BETTER!

I added the mini chocolate chips because seriously, I can never get enough chocolate!
