What we love about Raspberries
Besides being low in calories and high in fiber, raspberries are packed with many other wonderful benefits! They are a heart healthy food and contain components that can even help prevent certain cancer cells from forming. Raspberries are also high in Vitamin C so make sure to pick up fresh or frozen ones the next time you are at the store!
How to make these Flourless Berry Banana Pancakes
First start by washing your berries. Then place the strawberries, raspberries, pecans and one egg into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and frothy.
Next add in the remaining eggs, banana, and cinnamon, and pulse until just incorporated.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of the batter onto the skillet and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until firm. Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes, until firm. Remove from the pan, let cool slightly.
Repeat with the remaining batter.
Then use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to make the heart shape pancakes and top with some agave nectar. Enjoy! You can always add some more fresh berries or pecans on top, too!
Make sure to PIN IT!
Additions & Substitutions:
