October exams stressing you out? No need! I\u2019ve got the remedy. Put on Jack Johnson\u2019s \u201cBanana Pancakes\u201d and take his advice: pretend it\u2019s the weekend and start flipping pancakes. Sargent Choice has got you covered with worry-free banana pancakes that take a hearty twist on the classic. Instead of cutting slices of banana into the batter, the batter is made up of mashed bananas. Once you combine that with whole-wheat flour\u2014BOOM\u2014it\u2019s cake in a pan.<\/p>\n

We ate our pancakes with defrosted berries (strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries, to be precise). When our Test Kitchen leader Karen Jacobs whipped out unsweetened cinnamon applesauce to go on top, I went to the flipside (a.k.a. pancake heaven).\u00a0 If you\u2019re feeling really wild, you might throw in a few<\/i><\/b> chocolate chips for a decadent bite. Peanut butter or almond butter would also be fabulous toppers and make for a satisfying treat.<\/p>\n

Fire up the skillet at your next pancake breakfast (or whenever) and throw this recipe on.\u00a0 You\u2019ll see that you don\u2019t actually need that all-purpose flour because brown is the new white! These are just as delicious, and they\u2019ll actually fill you up, help you keep a steady blood sugar, and keep you full until your next meal. Brain food has never been so smart. So get your short stack stat and then you can ace those tests.\u00a0 Order\u2019s up!<\/em><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
