You know it… the daily struggle of trying to feed your kids healthy, energy powered foods that you can read the ingredients. My son loves to eat bars… I can’t even read many of the ingredients. The ones that have decipherable ingredients, like the amazing Redd bars, are fantastic. I like them and he does too, but they get pricey when he eats 4 in one day!
Pancakes are great because you can modify the ingredients to meet your family’s needs. I love to add pumpkin purée- it amps up the vitamin C and makes them light and fluffy. Today, however, I want to ramp up the kcals and antioxidants to fuel my growing little (and not so little) athletes!
Warrior Pancakes (recipe will feed 8, halve it for 4)
2 cups gluten free baking mix (I use Pamela’s) or sub in 2 cups flour of choice, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 t baking soda, 2 t baking powder.
1 T chia seeds (you can add more but if you add too much it gets noticeable)
1T açai powder
1/4 cup chocolate chips
2T turbinado sugar
1/2 c oatmeal
Mix dry ingredients
Combine wet ingredients and then add all at once to dry
1 cup milk (or water if you want light)
2 eggs
1 t vanilla
2T Apple cider vinegar
2T olive oil
Heat griddle to medium heat and you’ve got it from here!
Enjoy ❤️
