Of course, this is optional, but will only add nutritional benefits to your already nutrient packed full pancakes. Freeze leftover pancakes for a quick no cook breakfast. Hope you enjoy these as much as my family does. These tasty pancakes pair well with fresh berries or berry chia jam recipe found here
I buy oat groats in a 25lb bag. When stored properly, i.e., air tight container, the groats will last over a year!! I buy my bulk oat groats from Azure Standard.
