We love these pancakes at my house and I love that my kids gobble them down. I prefer non-sweet breakfasts but when a pancake breakfast is in order this is one of our go-to’s.
This recipe avoids highly inflammatory, gut wrecking, nutrient depleting, often immune stimulating foods such as gluten, dairy, and processed sugar. It incorporates fat, fiber, and protein to help you and your kids stay energized by keeping your blood sugar more stable so you don’t bonk before lunch.
Plus, these pancakes are scrumptious.
My kiddos like coconut oil on them or a nut butter. I like serving these with kale chips and organic turkey sausage on the side but they are great on their own too.
