2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg white, buttermilk, and almond extract(if you added).
3. Stir dry ingredients into the wet just until moistened. Fold in granola and banana slices. Set aside to rest.
4. Heat a large nonstick pan over medium/medium-low heat. Coat with butter.
5. When hot, spoon the batter onto the pan, make it round as possible
6. When bubbles appear on the surface of the batter, (about 2-3 minutes), the pancakes are ready to be flipped.
7. Flip pancakes and let cook for another minute or so, or until golden brown.
