Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes

My favorite pancakes. I think I love them so much because they are SO filling... and on the healthier side. I've made them more times than I can count, yeah they aren't the most simple pancakes, but I have a few shortcuts to make them a little faster. I just love to pop the leftovers in my mouth as an after-work snack. Mmmm.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup oat bran (I food processed my regular oats)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 egg
1 cup almond milk
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1 tablespoon honey
1 banana
1/3 cup chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Add the peanut butter and honey to a heat-safe bowl. Microwave in 20 second intervals on low power until mixture is softened and warm. Mash half of the banana, and slice the remaining half into 1/4 inch thick rounds, then cut the rounds into quarters. Stir the mashed banana into the peanut butter mixture. 
2. Stir together whole wheat flour through cinnamon in a large bowl. Make a well and combine milk, egg, and oil; stir to mix. 
3. Fold in peanut butter mixture, chopped banana, and chocolate chips. 
4. Heat griddle or pan, then spray with cooking spray. Drop 1/3 cup of batter onto griddle, repeat with remaining batter. Heat until bubbles form at the surface and bottom is lightly browned, then flip and cook through. 
5. Makes 14 pancakes :)
