Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
This little recipe is such a win for your body. The almond butter and oat flour bring in those good-for-you fats and fiber that your heart loves, while the mix of protein, fat, and fiber helps keep your blood sugar steady instead of spiking. Plus, it’s packed with vitamins and minerals like calcium and iron—so every bite is doing something good for you while still tasting like a treat.

Ingredients:
  • 2 tbsps Almond Butter (runny)
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup (divided)
  • 2 tsps Cinnamon (divided)
  • 2 Egg
  • 2/3 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/2 cups Oat Flour
  • 2 tsps Baking Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
Instructions:
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the almond butter, half the maple syrup, and 3/4 of the cinnamon. Transfer to a plastic squeeze bottle or a plastic bag with the tip snipped for piping.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, vanilla, and the remaining maple syrup. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining cinnamon. Stir with a spatula until just combined. Some lumps are ok.
  3. Heat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease the pan. Scoop approximately 1/3 of a cup of batter at a time into the pan. Squeeze the almond butter mixture into the pancake batter in a spiral. Once bubbles form, flip the pancake and cook for another one to two minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  4. Divide the pancakes evenly onto plates and enjoy!

I am a bold, beautiful, sometimes timid, usually happy, essential oil, nutrition junkie. Although at 39 I feel as if I've had several careers over a lifetime (or at least sometimes when I look back at my resume that is what shines through). I've been a paralegal, an office manager, an administrative assistant, worked in commercial lending and have finally landed on nutrition.

My journey to nutrition started many years ago when my sister was diagnosed with celiac disease and food had to change for the family. From there, along my own health journey I’ve helped people not only figure out what to eat but how to do it so that it can work for them sustainably. For almost seven years I’ve been counseling people on their nutrition and weight loss journeys.

I am knowledgeable about what purpose food serves your body and I focus on finding sustainable options when it comes to food; this also led to my love of essential oils. I had the opportunity to attend a workshop where a registered dietitian spoke about using essential oils in her practice to help her patients. I was floored. I knew that #plantsheal but I didn't realize that others in the 'conventional' medical community thought that as well!! Learning that it was possible to incorporate these magical little bottles gave me a huge sense of hope.

As I learned more about these oils I was diagnosed with increased intestinal permeability or as many of us know it, leaky gut. Leaky gut has been around for quite awhile but many of us are just learning what this is or why this is even more common these days than ever before. Many issues can be related to leaky gut including autoimmune diseases. Receiving this diagnosis just led me down a path further to learn about nutrition and how to best serve my body and take care of myself.

Since birthing our sweet baby boy at home earlier this year I’ve been incredibly passionate about helping other women too who are pregnant and new mothers with their nutrition. Eating healthy for your pregnant body and your postpartum self is a game changer for both mother and baby.
