Healthy Breakfast… Wholesome Whole Food Pancake with Berries

So today I made pancakes. Well I made two types of pancakes. Ones for my kiddos. I will link to the recipe that I use for pancakes. Pancakes I make for my kiddos.

Then I made a protein packed pancake that does not have added sugar, till I added a little bit of local honey.

These were so good. Usually protein pancakes tend to be a little dense and these look like they will be but they are not. Pssstt… the secret is the baking powder.

I ground up rolled oats in my blender to make my own oatmeal flour.

The only sugars in this are natural sugars. Yay for whole foods.

Recipe: Wholesome Whole Food Pancake with Berries
(yields 2.5 servings, or about 2 pancakes per person)

Ingredients:

  1. 2 bananas smashed
  2. 1.5 cups of rolled oats, that you blend in your blender to make a flour
  3. 2 eggs
  4. 1/4 tsp of salt
  5. 2 tsp of baking powder
  6. Berries that you like, or other fruit
  7. Honey to taste
  8. 1 tsp of vanilla
  9. 1/2 tsp of cinnamon
  10. 1 cup or 140 grams of berries

Directions:

  1. Grind up the the oats, pour into a big bowl, add salt and baking powder.
  2. On the side of the bowl smash the two peeled bananas till they are are about 95% smashed.
  3. Add two eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix it all together.
  4. In a hot pan, use a pan spray, and add some batter to the pan. You will have to spread this out on your own. It will be thick and want to stay in one clump. The more you spread out, the faster it will cook. Cook till the inside of the pancake is just finished.
  5. Cut up and wash fruit you want to add to your pancakes.
  6. Stack some pancakes, add fruit, and drizzle with honey.

Got a little artsy with my photo. I am not a photographer so yeah. The sunlight through the fruit and honey was pretty.

Healthy Breakfast…Quinoa, Apples, Pecans, and Honey Bowl

Although I ate this for lunch, this is a great breakfast, lunch or dinner. This is an incredibly healthy, hearty and tasty meal.

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. This one is just what I wanted today. If you are gluten free, vegetarian, or just trying to eat a little better for yourself. Try this out. You can make it vegan by omitting the honey. I would add another sweetener like stevia if you do though.

Quinoa, Apples, Pecans, and Honey Bowl

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole granny smith apple ~ 200 g diced washed with skin
