Everything Pancakes

I call these Everything Pancakes because they include my favorite flavors: chocolate,coffee, peanut butter, and banana! On the weekends I like to prepare a special breakfast  (read: waffles, pancakes, extra delicious eggs) to really indulge and relax. In the past,  I would not dare eat pancakes: you never know how much butter they use, or what is lurking in the batter. But these pancakes, I can feel good about with healthy fats, whole grains, and a slight sweetness they exceed any sweet breakfast craving.
