Que the Jack Johnson and bring on Sunday morning!
Seriously though. These pancakes are so simple it’s stupid.
Easy to make and packed with whole-food ingredients. That’s what I’m all about.
The base is just 3 ingredients (bananas, oats, almond milk).
Once you have that blended up, feel free to add whatever you like.
Turmeric is a great addition for some anti-inflammatory bang, and blueberries for the antioxidant-boost.
There was a bunch of information on the benefits of adding pepper to your turmeric to sky rocket the absorption of curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric), and why anti-inflammatory foods are so important in this week’s email!

Vanilla and cinnamon are always a must when I’m whipping up some flapjacks, so we’ll throw some of that in there too.
You can get creative with these.
Think… cacao, walnuts, orange zest, strawberries, crunchy buckwheat groats, shredded coconut, chocolate chips?!
What ever the artist inside of you comes up with, your pancake will be delicious and ready before Jack is finished his guitar solo.
