It doesn’t matter what time of year it is, pancakes are always a big thing around our house. Not so much for me, as I generally prefer a savory breakfast, but for the boys and Skye.
They love them so much that I usually get cheers when I make them. (Which it typically at least once or twice a week.)
Of course, I’m always looking for ways to make them healthier.
Today’s Almond Flour Quinoa Pancakes are definitely healthier than many pancakes I’ve made, but the kids don’t seem to mind.
Though they aren’t quite as light as pancakes made with traditional flours, I love that they are packed with nutrition AND I still get cheers!
What’s a breakfast staple around your house?
