Maca Pancakes: celebrating the long weekend

Long weekends are meant for pancakes! I made my recipe a bit more healthy with alternatives and additives.

We added coconut oil instead of butter, nut milk instead of milk and whole wheat flour instead of white flour. I also included maca, an adaptogen, in the pancakes. Maca is high in antioxidants, it improves mood, balances hormones and improves memory. It's so easy to add to any recipe or smoothie, because it has a very mild taste, and only a little is added.
