These ingredients provide cancer patients with fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and plant-based protein, which support immune function, reduce inflammation, promote cellular health, and leverage berries’ anthocyanins to potentially lower cancer risk by up to 15-20%.

Ingredients

  • Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp hemp seeds
  • 1 tbsp flaxseeds, ground
  • 1 tbsp protein powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • A pinch of salt
     
    Wet Ingredients
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp honey or molasses
     
    Superfood Toppings
  • Fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
  • Sliced banana
  • Chopped nuts of choice
  • Greek or coconut yogurt

Directions

  1. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl, oat and almond flour, chia seeds, hemp seeds, ground flaxseeds, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, pinch of salt.
  2. Mix wet ingredients. Add eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and honey or molasses. Mix well. Separately mash the banana.
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
  4. Allow the batter to rest for about 5-10 minutes. This helps the chia seeds and flax seeds absorb some of the liquid and thicken the batter.
  5. Cook the pancakes on griddle over medium heat.
  6. Scoop ¼ cup of batter for each pancake.
  7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
  8. Serve with superfood toppings. Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with fresh berries, sliced banana, chopped nuts, and a dollop of Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt. Probiotic Foods: For Better Digestion And Gut Health
