We’ve been into the Sunday morning pancake thing.  I try to make extra so as to have easy breakfasts for Leif for the next few days.  I often make these up the night before and then just add the liquid in the morning.  Makes for a quick pre-hike breakfast!

Ingredients:

2 cups oat flour

2 cups spelt flour

1 cup rolled oats

4 Tablespoons chia seeds

2 Tablespoons baking powder

2 scoops Vega Protein powder or vegan protein powder of your choice

2 tsp pumpkin spice mix

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup squash (I used butternut)

4 cups water or almond milk or mix of both!

Instructions:

Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl

Mix in Squash, water and vanilla and stir well

pour pancakes over med-high skillet and flip when the batter begins to bubble.

Cook second side.

Top with nut butter, bananas, black strap molasses, berries, seeds, what ever the heck you like to top your pancakes with (well, maybe skip the powder sugar or fake syrups…)

Power Up!

If these pancakes can get a pregnant lady with a 30 pound child on her back up a mountain, they can do anything!  Dream big, kids!
