Sugary & Buttery - Coconut Protein Pancakes

It’s back to school! I can honestly say – finally! I’m glad to be back in our routine, be done with summer camps, and she is seriously excited.

My favorites are nutritious pancakes or waffles, like these kid-friendly and yummy – yet healthy, gluten-free and dairy-free – coconut protein pancakes. They are easy to prepare ahead of time for busy weekday mornings and are low-sugar and protein and fiber packed – and keep in the freezer for up to 3 weeks….

Isn’t a granola bar supposed to be healthy? Well, yes – if you make them yourself! And trust me it is really much much easier and quicker than you think.
