Grain Free Coconut Blueberry Pancakes!

I just made some pretty amazing pancakes. I rarely make something and then turn right to my computer to blog about it, but I really really felt the need to share this with you guys. I was craving something sweet, but light, as I wasn’t craaaazzzzzzy hungry, but certainly needed something in my system. I have to be honest that some of the best recipes that I make, I totally think up on the fly. Because there are certain ingredients that I always keep in my kitchen, I knew this would be a no brainer, but I had no idea how they would turn out!

When Do you eat these? Whenever you would like! They are not crazy filling in stats, so for me, this would be a bit of a snack…definitely not a whole meal!  They were satisfying for sure and SOOOO delicious, but these are perfect if you don’t want a full stomach before a workout or after a workout paired with some extra carbs such as Kamut puffs or oatmeal and a more substantial fruit such as a banana.  Basically, when it comes to pancakes-you can eat them any time of day!
