Banana Oat Pancakes - FIXATE style

I remember going to listen to Tony Horton (creator of P90X and it's iterations) speak, and he said: "I used to eat pancakes for breakfast. That's butter, sugar, flour, and eggs. I might have well been eating birthday cake, as it has the same ingredients!"

I've always tried to eat healthy, but I realized this was true. Pancakes had the same ingredients as birthday cake!  Time to find a healthier version.

These from the FIXATE cookbook are delicious and healthy, and the real test came when my husband (a true buttermilk pancake lover) and my kids tried them. They finished the entire batch; I tripled the recipe.

Autumn Calabrese, the creator of 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix Extreme, wrote a cookbook called FIXATE. The greatest feature of this cookbook: It gives the container equivalents for each recipe!
Thank you Autumn Calabrese for providing me with a healthy alternative to cake!
