Pancakes may be a weekend treat in your house or one that you try to avoid as their fluffy texture is often made from white flour which you fry in butter and top with syrup. Not really an ideal way to start the day unless you want to be planted on the couch in a coma by noon.
But these pancakes are not only simple enough to whip up on a weekday morning, they are healthy, protein-packed and grain-free! Shout out to my friends at Estreet Denim in Highland Park for the recipe!
And to keep them healthy, be sure to top them with fresh fruit and maybe a dollop of yogurt or creamy kefir instead of sugar-laden syrup!
