Oatmeal Pancakes
Who doesn't love a proper pancake stack? When the weekend comes around and we have a family breakfast, these always make the menu. Don’t get me wrong I love fluffy buttermilk pancakes but I needed an alternative healthier version. These pancakes never weigh me down or make me feel sluggish after! They are vegan, have no added sugars, and are gluten-free. Long and behold, the blender pancake staple.

- Feel free to add a scoop of your favourite protein powder into the pancakes for an added source of protein.
- Toppings keep things exciting and new. They can transform old and boring pancakes into a whole different plate. Change it up, my favourite lately has been a decadent slow-cooked apple/pear compote on top of
If I am not eating oats in the form of oatmeal or granola for breakfast, I am eating these pancakes and I hope you join me too
