Breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day because it kick-starts your metabolism, gives you energy, and helps maintain your concentration. My recipe for banana oatmeal pancakes are perfect for giving that push we all need at the beginning of each day. It contains healthy alternatives to the gluten, sugar, and dairy products that are found in most flapjacks. Due to the wholesome ingredients, you won’t feel guilty about eating a stack of these right when you wake up!
Ingredients
- 1 cup of organic rolled oats (blended into flour)
- 1 mashed banana
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/2 tablespoon ground flax seed
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Dash of pure vanilla extract
OPTIONAL:
- 1/2 tablespoon of Navitas Cacao Powder (a mayan superfood, great source of antioxidants, vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free)
Instructions
- Combine the above ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until perfectly blended. (Another option is to combine everything into a blender, I typically put the oats in first and then add the remaining items.)
- Heat a medium-sized pan on low
- Coat pan using coconut oil spray
- Using a ladle, pour batter into 4-inch size circles onto pan
- Cook 1-2 minutes each side
Berry Compote
Ingredients
- 1 cup of blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, or raspberries (you can also choose to mix them all together!)
- 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- Sprinkle of ground ginger
- Sprinkle of cinnamon or 1 cinnamon stick
Instructions
- Heat a small-sized sauce pan on low
- Cook the berries and added ingredients on low for 20 minutes
- Stir occasionally

Long time supporter, and thought I’d drop a comment.
Your wordpress site is very sleek – hope you don’t mind me asking what theme you’re using?
(and don’t mind if I steal it? :P)
I just launched my site –also built in wordpress like yours– but the
theme slows (!) the site down quite a bit.
In case you have a minute, you can find it by searching for “royal cbd” on Google (would appreciate any feedback) – it’s
still in the works.
Keep up the good work– and hope you all take care of yourself during
the coronavirus scare!
Thank you so much — your support means a lot to me!
I actually had someone create a personalized theme for my site – I will be happy to share her contact info you would like it.
Stay safe and be healthy, Savannah
