Pancakes are our staple Sunday breakfast and not only do the children love them and see them as a treat, but adults can also have them guilt free with my healthier versions of clean eating pancakes. Especially when you struggle getting certain vegetables like, spinach, kale, beetroot, radish, sweet potatoes etc, into your kids, pancakes can be your gateway to veggies in your children’s tummies.

There is no need to feed our children differently to what we eat but there are ways of making the same recipes in more fun and attractive ways for our little ones. We eat with our eyes and when food is playful and colourful, that’s half the battle won with fussy eaters.

Kale can be a tricky veggie to get into your children’s diets and we all know the health benefits of these green leaves. These pancakes are a super clever way of getting kale into children’s tummies and also yours if you’re not usually a fan! Simply blend your ingredients in a NutriBullet to make your pancake batter and cook them in the pan. These gluten free and dairy free pancakes are a great way to start your morning.
