In our home, we have a tradition of making pancakes on Sunday mornings. Regular pancakes can feel heavy or leave you feeling hungry again soon after, but these are satisfying and rich in protein to support steady energy, balanced blood sugar, and sustained nourishment throughout the morning.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, this recipe is tridoshic. For those with more Kapha, a touch of spice: ginger, cinnamon, or cardamom - can help kindle agni and keep things light and digestible.
