My favourite meal of the day is breakfast. To me, nothing is more satisfying than sleeping in on the weekend and making a hearty, healthy breakfast.

This is also the perfect recipe for a single or couple, as it only makes about 2 servings. They are so delicious that if it made any more, I’d probably gorge myself and eat them all in one sitting.

I’m not a big maple syrup fan when it comes to pancakes (strange, I know), so I usually like to spread a small container of fruit yogurt on my stack and pretend its a whipped topping. A couple days ago, I discovered the most wonderful fruit topping from Angela at OhSheGlows.com and I think it compliments this pancake recipe very nicely.

You will need half a banana and a small handful of strawberries. Oh and a food processor to puree two ingredients together.

Lastly, when enjoying the pancakes, don’t worry about trying to keep the stack together. Pancakes are meant to be a little messy.
