I’m a fan of pancakes but I’m not a fan of being hungry shortly after eating them or having a sugar crash!
Typical pancakes call for things like white flour, sugar, eggs, milk and syrup to top it off. Sorry folks, but that’s not the formula for a healthy breakfast.
These pancakes are upgraded due to their use of whole oats (fiber, baby!), bananas, almond milk and that’s it! Okay, also a pinch of baking soda. But that’s really it! Super simple right? Yes. These are healthy (and delicious) enough to eat daily.
To make these even more filling and healthy, switch out the butter and maple syrup for a (no sugar or oil added) peanut or almond butter to give your body a dose of beneficial fats and no refined sugar.
