Imagine the smell of pancake waiting for you in the morning, hmm. Oh heaven! Pancake has been passed on from generation to generation, and I haven’t known one person who doesn’t eat a pancake. Who doesn’t love pancakes? It’s easy to prepare, and you can add your favorite toppings like honey, butter, cream, fruits, chocolate, and much more! But these toppings and syrups could ruin your diet (if you’re on one). So try prepping pancakes up healthier with coconut oil instead of butter.
