I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some ripe bananas. I had some almond butter in the fridge, and I thought it would be a good addition to the pancakes. The pancakes turned out so well that I've been making them ever since. I love that they're made with whole wheat flour, which makes them more filling and nutritious than traditional pancakes. The almond butter adds a delicious nutty flavor and creaminess to the pancakes. And the bananas add a natural sweetness and moisture. These pancakes are a great way to start your day, and they're also perfect for a quick and easy breakfast or snack.
