Vegan Blueberry Pancakes (Healthy!)
Vegan Blueberry Pancakes (Healthy!) is the best pancake recipe I have ever made. Not only are they loaded with flax and whole wheat, but they’re super tasty as well! I knew I wanted to make a nice breakfast on Sunday for the fam, and my wee man has been on a waffle/pancake kick for bfast during the week. I’d been spending stupid amounts of money buying organic, whole grain, blah, blah, blah… healthy frozen waffles/pancakes for him. I doubled this recipe and froze a TON of pancakes so he now can have these homemade, and WAYYYY cheaper breakfast delights. Grey eats them every morning topped with PB & coupled with a side of strawberries. Not a bad way to start his lil’ day. 😉
Usually, whilst I cook, I either listen to music or catch up on TV shows on my computer. This Sunday, it was the latter. I had been itching to watch the last episode of “This is Us.” I’d been actively evading all of the articles I’d seen about it, as I could basically smell the sorrow and plot give-away from my screen. Let’s just say that these Vegan Blueberry Pancakes (Healthy!), are made with love and LOTS of tears… literally. OMG… Jack! The music, the crockpot, all mixed together! I can’t! Instant sobbing. Kate! You almost didn’t buy that dog after you totally had pulled her Audio heart stings! And, who could pass up an animal with that name?! I mean, c’mon! Finally, I’ll never look at my crockpot the same, and my borderline OCD was just kicked backwards a giant step simply because I’ll now be checking all appliances more than I already do to ensure, that they are, in fact, turned OFF. 🙁
Okay, now that I’ve let that out, I’ll leave you with this: Vegan Blueberry Pancakes (Healthy!) are freakin’ amazing, super easy, super quick, super healthy, and must be made! Think brunch, lunch, dinner, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day… or, any day! MWAH! -FGG
