You can't ever go wrong with pancakes, and I could seriously eat them any time of the day! I love making them because they're pretty easy to make, super tasty, and VERY filling - of course if you have a tall stack like this ;)

I've been experimenting to come up with different healthy pancake recipes. The main ingredient in these pancakes is muesli and it ending up tasting phenomenal! For those of you who don't know what muesli is, it's a combination of dry, rolled oats, seeds and nuts, and evaporated soy milk.

Pancake batter:

- 2 eggs
- 1 banana
- 2 cups of muesli
- 1/2 cup of almond milk
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 small pinch of salt
- Coconut oil

Strawberry sauce:

- 1 cup of fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Directions:

First things first, mix all of your ingredients together in a food processor (or blender). I used to cook my pancakes on low heat and flip them a gazillion times to get them perfectly crisp - but now that I'm a pancake veteran, I've moved on to bigger and better things (cooking on medium-high heat hahaha). Anyways, you can choose whichever method you like! So I turn on my stove right in the middle between medium and high heat. Next, I place a small amount of coconut oil in a pan, making sure that I tilt the pan in a circular motion to cover the surface area equal to the size of the pancakes I plan to make.

I use a spoon for precision to dollop my batter on the pan, and normally use anywhere from 2-4 tablespoons, depending on how big I want my pancakes. If you're cooking on low heat, you're going to want to leave your pancake on for at least a minute or two so the first side can fully cook. Cooking on medium-high heat will take less than half of the time for your first side to turn golden. All stoves cook at different rates, so I would suggest using your spatula to peek underneath so you can check and see once it is ready.

Once you've got a crisp, golden color on your first side, flip it over and cook the second and final side for the same amount of time. Cooking time will also vary depending on how thick and how big you make your pancakes. I added a rich and creamy "strawberry creamsicle" sauce on top. 

For your sauce, simply blend all of your ingredients together until you have a smooth, creamy mixture. I used a food processor to mix my pancake batter (which I like to be a little more thick) and a blender for the sauce (which I like a little more... well... saucy).

Last but certainly not least, it's time to pimp out your pancakes! I topped them with chia seeds and blueberries and had a side of strawberries and goji berries with them as well! This meal is bursting with flavor and will definitely leave your tummy satisfied.

Bon apetite!
