The healthy breakfast recipe you need for your kids

20150621_091413

These pancakes, you guys.. they’re a game changer! Packed with protein AND veggies.. and they can be gluten free. what What?!  Perfect healthier breakfast option for kids and adults too.  I don’t even just feed them to the kids and make myself something else. (You know those gross recipes you’ve tried before? yeah.. yuck).. These are denser than regular pancakes, and delicious.

I end up feeling bad with a dose of bloated when I make my regular light and fluffy gluten-full pancakes, full of white flour and oil.  Not these. These have no oil. They’ve got Greek yogurt, eggs, and VEGGIES!  Today I made them with cooked broccoli. I know, crazy right?  My 3 year old carbaholic rarely eats her vegetables or any protein, so I feel a bit better when I can get these into her.

Top them off with some frozen blueberries defrosted until ooey gooey like syrup.  I’m working on a completely grain-free version too, so stay tuned for that.

Protein pancakes with hidden veggies

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 banana
  • 1 1/2 cup oats
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2tsp vanilla
  • 1c spinach
  • 1 scoop protein powder or Shakeology (optional)
  • A few tablespoons of milk as needed if it’s too thick

Heat non-stick pan over medium heat. Blend all ingredients in blender until smooth. Pour 1/4 cup scoops onto hot pan and cook until bubbles form then start to pop. Flip and cook for another 30 – 60 seconds.
