Breakfast is one of my favourite meals. Aside from the nutritional benefits of having breakfast, I simply cannot start my day unless I have a wholesome breakfast. My husband is an even bigger fan of breakfast – we usually talk about what we will eat for breakfast the night before. Pancakes are usually a weekend pick, because who doesn’t want to start the weekend off with a stack of homemade pancakes?!
Up until a few years ago, I would opt for the pancake mix boxes because I thought pancakes from scratch were just too much work first thing in the morning. When I started making my pancakes from scratch, I realized how quick and easy it is to whip up a batch in the morning. The great thing about making your own pancakes is that you know exactly what is going in your pancakes. I have a couple of go-to pancake recipes that I love. This pancake recipe uses oats and whole wheat flour, packing in the fibre to help you feel full until you are ready for lunch.
These pancakes are:
– Free of refined sugar
– Fibre-filled
– Packed with protein (Tip: have a cup of milk with your pancakes for a complete breakfast)
