About

The addition of oats to a basic pancake recipe is an easy way to add protein and fiber and start your day off on the right note. The addition of bourbon to the batter? That makes you look forward to the day. For a double infusion of oats and additional texture, I love adding a few handfuls of Bacon Granola to the mix on occasion, too. Being healthy never felt so easy.
