Blueberry, Banana -n- Oats Pancakes

At the beginning of each new year, I constantly find myself entertaining thoughts of ”firsts.” Yesterday was my first hike of 2013 (and Adam and Harley’s too!). Now that I’m getting over this energy zapping cold (WOOHOO!!), today I had my first gym session of the year. And a few days ago, I whipped up my first pancake recipe of 2013:

These pancakes are full of goodness — blueberries high in antioxidants, bananas loaded with potassium, and fiber-full oats. I topped them with a bit of drizzled honey, which added the perfect touch to these fluffy pancakes.
