Happy April Fool's Day! How about some pancakes to kick things off!!
No tricks here today, just a couple pancakes that pack a serious punch, both in taste and sate. These are so tasty thanks to the almond flavour throughout. Add some fresh fruit, lots of cinnamon and a little maple syrup and BAM... BREAKFAST!
They are also quite filling and filled with all the benefits of oat bran - rich in soluble fibre, essential vitamins and minerals and gluten-free! Almond is also gluten-free and is said to lower the rise in blood sugar and insulin after meals, nourish the nervous system and boost brain activity, among other things.
And who among us would not benefit from a good boost in the morning?
I adapted this recipe from Chelsey over at Powerhouse Fit Foodie . I omitted the sweetener and added crushed vanilla bean and cinnamon and instead of water, I used almond milk and increased the amount from ¼ to ½ cup. I also increased the coconut oil to 1 tablespoon. These Almond Oat Bran Pancakes are really good - give them a try!
