Banana & Almond Butter Pancakes for Energy Boost

Two ripe bananas mashed smooth, blended with almond butter, eggs, and oat flour, make a batter that's naturally a bit denser and more filling than a typical pancake mix. Letting the batter rest for a minute or two before cooking helps the oat flour hydrate fully.

Coconut oil in the pan and a topping of sliced banana, toasted almonds, and maple syrup add extra calories on top of an already hearty base, which makes this stack a good fit for anyone focused on weight gain and looking for a breakfast that does more than the usual bowl of cereal. Cinnamon and vanilla round out the flavor without needing much else.

Cook over medium heat until golden on both sides, then stack and top generously before serving.
