Banana pancakes with cinnamon
Another home-made breakfast classic are pancakes. The advantage of making them yourself is that you can use a healthy recipe. The pancakes in our recipe are gluten free, they contain a decent amount of protein, fibre, antioxidants, and healthy fats, not just carbs, and they still taste amazing. It might take a bit of practice before you will be able to get the timing and consistency right but don’t worry, even slightly weird-looking pancakes will still be delicious.
