Today is National Pancake Day! It seems like there’s a holiday that celebrates everything nowadays – from co-workers to #OOTD – but one of our top 5 favorites most definitely includes the aforementioned breakfast staple. And why shouldn’t it? Pancakes act like a sponge by soaking up the syrupy dressing, which makes for an unforgettable flavor experience. Plus, it serves as an excuse to have what’s technically an easier-to-make cake for breakfast.
This recipe in particular is best enjoyed in the fall due to its seasonal ingredients like pumpkin puree, maple syrup, nutmeg and more. The collagen recipe also calls for Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides, which are odorless, flavorless and easily dissolve in hot and cold liquids. This makes our OG collagen powder super versatile since it can be added to any sweet or savory recipe.
