Well, this recipe makes sense for my first Instagram live cooking class back after breaking my wrist for so many reasons. The first is that I was able to prepare it almost entirely myself. The washing of the dishes is another story! And the second reason is that Mother’s Day is this coming Sunday and what a perfect breakfast to serve to mom in bed, she’d love it!

The base of these pancakes is oats, which I adore for many reasons. Oats are full of fantastic soluble fiber which helps things run smoothly 😉 They also help feed the bugs that live in your gut and help keep them thriving which in turn helps keep you thriving!

The rest of the ingredients you likely also have hanging out in your kitchen. And if you want to jazz this up try tossing in some fresh blueberries or turn them into pink pancakes with a little powder made from dehydrated strawberries! However you sass these up I know they’ll be a hit with everyone in the house.

Stay safe out there, Drizzlers!
