Sunday Pancakes with Berry Syrup

Hello Sunday breakfast! These plant-based pancakes are both fluffy and flavorful. They taste so much like a treat that you won’t even remember there’s a veggie hiding in them!

Traditional pancakes don’t have much to offer when it comes to nutrients. They would generally fall in the “empty calories” category. These are the opposite with tons of good for you ingredients.

The oats and quinoa haven’t been stripped of their bran and bleached (like white flour).

The sweet potato is packed with beta-carotene – a powerful antioxidant – as well as tons of other nutrients.

The spices contribute both flavor and healthful compounds. And you don’t have to worry getting any hormones from almond milk (like you would with dairy milk).

  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

  • 1-2 drops olive oil

Berry Syrup

  • 1 cup frozen berries (we recommend blueberries)

Instructions

Pancakes

  • Add rolled oats to food processor and process for 20-30 seconds, or until ground into flour. 
  • Add all remaining ingredients (except oil and berries) and process until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. 
  • Heat a large no-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil pan by dropping 1-2 drops of oil and spreading with a paper towel.

  • Enjoy pancakes topped with berry syrup. 

Notes

Whole wheat flour can be used of place of quinoa flour. When making these pancakes I used this Ninja Food Processor and Non-Stick Pan.
