Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so starting our day with nutritious food is a must. Research shows that combining protein, fiber and healthy omega-3s will help our kids learn, focus, concentrate and have healthy sustained energy throughout the day. I know we don’t have time every morning to cook food from scratch, BUT if you can give your kids a special treat on their first few days back, this one is sure to be a crowd-pleaser (so say’s the Morello Test Kitchen :)) The boys loved these coconut flour pancakes topped with their favourite maple syrup. Hope you love them as much as we do.
