What makes these Healthy Vegan Pancakes?
I fully believe that everyone should enjoy a nice stack of pancakes regardless of their dietary restrictions or medical conditions. These healthy vegan blueberry pancakes are made with 3 main nutritious ingredients: Oat flour, flaxseed meal, and blueberries.
Oat flour is high in fiber and low glycemic which prevents blood sugar from spiking and dipping. Fiber will also keep you full for a longer period of time, so when you eat these pancakes you will feel satisfied until you next meal!
The flaxseed meal used to make the flax egg is high in healthy fats, omega-3 fatty acids. These types of healthy fats help protect your heart and cardiovascular system.
Last but not least we have the blueberries! Blueberries are rich in antioxidants which help fight inflammation. Multiple studies show that a diet rich in antioxidants can help prevent cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
