Cinnamon and Oat Pancakes
PANCAKES, PANCAKES, PANCAKES
I don't know about you but pancakes remind me of happy childhood meals or rainy days! Today is a cold rainy day so pancakes and coffee seemed like a no-brainer! I also happened to have a sample box of Kodiak Cakes: Power Cakes and thought I'd give it whirl. This is the kind of mix that is so good that you use the whisk, a spoon, and even your fingers to get every last bit!
As for Kodiak Cakes... This is a brand I will definitely be coming back to. The mix was incredible, the price is affordable, and nourishment is a prominent part of their mission. I fully support any company promoting adventure, good food, and balanced bodies! You can also visit their website to check out their blog, their conservation activity, or learn about the goodness.
Today, I used frozen berries from North Carolina, local honey, and bee pollen to give these pancakes a little flair. Berries are always one of my go-to fruits because they are lower in sugar than most, delicious, packed with antioxidants, and it is easy to have a bag in the freezer at all times! As far as, the honey and bee pollen, I've heard that eating local honey regularly can be helpful with allergies. I'm not sure it has helped me but I love the idea of supporting local businesses! Please share any thoughts in the comments & enjoy!
