Fluffy, flavoursome & divine on the eyes…what’s not to love about these sunshine hued beauties?!

Pancakes are fantastic, but my pancakes are even better than that!

Yep I’m blowing my own trumpet but on this occasion I think you’ll all happily toot along with me once you’ve tried them 🙂

Many ‘healthy’ pancake recipes will turn to banana as the binding agent but I’m always here to shake things up a bit & show how you can easily sneak a few extra veggies into you & your family’s diets which is why I’ve turned to the nutrient powerhouse that is sweet potato, plus its innate caramel flavour means no additional sweetening agents are needed. (YAY!)

The choice to make these grain free reflects the potential benefits of concentrating grain based carbohydrates in the evening as a means of metabolic balancing (don’t worry if that sounds like a foreign language, explanatory post coming very soon!) but yes for the time being take it from me, grain free brekkies could be the way to go!

These are also naturally free from gluten, sugar & dairy, high in fibre, protein & generally here to revolutionise your morning routine from here on out.

They store super well too so I tend to whip up a double batch & have them as grab & go options for the week, or turn to them for a scrummy, whole food snack option.

Enjoy!
