Easy weekend pancakes: delicious and nutritious
I came up with this easy weekend pancakes recipe because I love pancakes, but they’re not always made with the healthiest ingredients.
I knew I could improve on that, so I experimented a bit and came up with these beauties!

Feeling good about all of the the food I eat regularly is super important to me. My meals also have to be quick and easy to prepare, because I don’t like messing around for too long in the kitchen.
These pancakes are a perfect weekend indulgence. They’re quick to whip, they’re made with nutritious ingredients, and they taste fantastic!
You literally throw all of the ingredients in a blender, then cook and enjoy. It really is that easy, I promise.
There’s no sugar added to the pancake mix; the banana adds a lovely natural sweetness, without an overwhelming flavour.
I love to top my pancakes with whatever fresh fruit I have on hand, and then drizzle over some pure maple syrup.
Kefir, or plain Greek yoghurt are some other topping options that will give your breakfast a probiotic boost.
I also have two pancake recipes for you that are high in protein without using protein powder. Checkout the POST WORKOUT PANCAKES, and the 3 INGREDIENT PROTEIN PANCAKES.
