Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes

You really need to try these fluffy pancakes. They’re gluten free, dairy free, and made with whole foods, but still holds all the delicious sweet flavours.

These are fluffy pancakes that are healthy and actually taste delicious. I love making these pancakes because they’re the perfect cozy weekend breakfast and packed with protein! It’s inspired by one of my favourite desserts – strawberry cheesecake. It won’t exactly taste like a cheesecake, but it definitely has those flavours going on in there.

A tip for oat flour: don’t waste your money buying them. You can just simply blend some rolled oats and they will magically turn into oat flour.

You and your body will be glad you’re having this, so don’t be taken aback when you see the word, “healthy”, because we only eat food that’s good here.
