School starts on Monday! If you are like me you insist your kids eat breakfast and you want it to be healthy so there little brains can function all day! Of course you do, you are a parent. I have a great pancake recipe for you that will do just the trick. But, you don't have to be a parent to enjoy these amazing blender oat pancakes and I promise you once you have them you will never go back to the box powder that gives you slim to nilch in the way of nutritional value.
Here is the list of ingredients copied directly from the AuntJemima.com
Aunt Jemima Pancake Mix
INGREDIENTS: ENRICHED BLEACHED FLOUR (BLEACHED WHEAT FLOUR, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMIN MONONITRATE, RIBOFLAVIN, FOLIC ACID), SUGAR, LEAVENING (SODIUM BICARBONATE, SODIUM ALUMINUM PHOSPHATE, MONOCALCIUM PHOSPHATE), DEXTROSE, NONFAT DRY MILK, PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED SOYBEAN OIL, SALT, WHEAT GLUTEN, CALCIUM CARBONATE, CORN SYRUP SOLIDS, SODIUM CASEINATE, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES, LACTIC ACID.
Why would you eat this...when you can eat this!
1 Banana
1 Egg
2 cups rolled oats
1 and 1/4 cup almond milk
1 heaping tablespoon of honey
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Dash of salt
Put all ingredients in blender and you have your pancake mix! I make it the night before for convenience and pour it right into the pan in the morning! I always make extra and reheat them for the following days!
I use coconut oil to cook pancakes on medium to medium low heat.
I don't like syrup so I smash up a few raspberries on top. But, my kids do like syrup, so I use real maple syrup. Just a drizzle though! A drizzle of honey works great too. For added bonus you can add a few of your favorite things...walnuts, blueberries, flax, chia are just a few ideas.
I promise your family will function so much better and you will too if you eat this and not Aunt Jemima!
Happy First Day of School!
Much Pancake Love,
Lauren
