Two Ingredient Pancakes and Raspberry Chia Seed Jam

When Nolan started eating actual foods, I was so excited! He could suck down a food pouch in no time! We researched about baby-led weaning and started introducing thicker foods a month or so after purees, and he loved that, too. He started out just holding things like broccoli florets and scrubbing his gums with them and evolved into avocado fingers and banana splits. Introducing him to foods this way has led us to notice a significant difference in him and other children his age who just ate purees. He is not a picky eater and is willing to eat more healthy options than not. Don’t get me wrong, if you show him where the candy bars are he would go to them, but he actually asks for avocado and cucumbers throughout the day.

After a few months of fruits and veggies and shredded meat, I started getting bored with our breakfasts. I found myself fixing oatmeal every morning because it was super easy, and I am simply not a morning person. I was playing on pinterest one day and found this easy pancake recipe! It only has two ingredients and takes less than 10 minutes to make. When I would do weightloss consultations, I would give this as one of my breakfast recipes because it is so good for you. Now that Harper is eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner, she enjoys this too! You can also put whatever ingredients you want in them to make stuffed pancakes! I added this amazing and simple raspberry chia seed jam instead of syrup, but you can top with local honey or organic maple syrup for a healthy breakfast. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
