How to Make Jack Johnson-Style Banana Pancakes

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at U Penn chapter.

A piping hot breakfast is never over-rated —especially when it’s as easy as these pancakes. Made with oats, Greek yogurt and a few other light ingredients, these pancakes make a normal breakfast splurge more of an every day affair. These will both cure your hangover and satisfy your breakfast desires without hurting your waistline. If that’s not a win-win situation, I’m not sure what is. Plus you get to listen to Jack Johnson’s Banana Pancakes while they’re cooking and you’ll feel as if everything in the world is right.
