Healthy Pancakes

Now what's the point of homeschooling if you don't randomly make an awesome breakfast on a Wednesday morning? I know... I know... plenty of points. Anyway, here are two yummy and healthy pancake recipes to give those kids something healthy and special on a weekday.

Coconut Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 3 Eggs
• 3 Tbsp Coconut Oil
• 3 Tbsp Coconut Milk 
• 1/2 Tsp Xylitol (or sugar)
• 2-4 drops Pure Vanilla
• 3 Tbsp Coconut Flour
• 1/2 Ts Baking Powder

Whisk everything in except the last two ingredients. When it's mixed well continue whisking while adding the coconut flour and baking powder.

Once the batter is mixed well heat some butter or coconut oil in a skillet or griddle. This batter is sort of thick. Use a spoon to drop the batter onto the hot skillet making the pancakes about 3 inches in diameter. Then just simply cook like a normal pancake. (I put too much coconut oil in my skillet)

One thing to know about these pancakes- if you don't like the flavor of coconut you might not like these. Although, I'm hoping you would have figured that out. ;)

Oatmeal Pancakes

Ingredients:

Use equal parts of first 3 ingredients

• Steel Cut Oatmeal
• Cottage Cheese
• Eggs
• 1-2 Tsp Pure Vanilla

Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Batter will be a little runny. Heat butter or oil on skillet or griddle and then pour batter onto it and cook like a normal pancake.

I'd like to point out that my extremely picky family will eat pancakes from both recipes. One very nice thing about these pancake recipes is that they do not make you feel sick after eating, actually, they make you feel good. My favorite of the two recipes is the Oatmeal Pancakes- I'm not super into coconut. Anyway, I hope you like them. 

Happy Homeschooling!
