Healthy eating plans for the new year? Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring or even difficult with this better for you blueberry pancake in a mug!
You know it’s been a great holiday when even your kids are asking for fruit and salad for dinner. Stella suggested a ban on all sugar, and she’s my sweet tooth.
Yes, it was that good of a vacation. We spent the holiday eating our way around Buffalo. The kids experienced Anchor Bar wings, Ted’s Hot Dogs, Mighty Taco and some of the best small plates in the city.
But now it is back to work, school, and healthy eating. Oh boy do we need that. Vacation is always wonderful, and getting back to reality is tough, but really getting back on schedule feels good.
My plan for this new year is to stay on top of things. It’s easy to start the new year eating better, being more organized and then…life happens. Before you know it it is June and all those New Year plans have long been forgotten.
Finding easy ways to eat better is on top of my list this year. Starting with this easy and better for you blueberry pancake. Made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, blueberries, and ready in just 90 seconds, what could be better.
We love pancakes, and I make them for the kids all the time, but for myself I don’t usually bother. Who wants to get the griddle out and make a whole batch? Not me that’s for sure.
This pancake for one is the perfect answer.

This is such a fun way to do pancakes, I’ve never seen them in a mug before but I’m sure my kids would love it!
thanks Sara! the kids love when they get their own individual breakfasts, and whatever gets them movng in the morning is a winner in my book!
This is great and simple! LOVE IT! Since we just got a pile of snow dumped on here, I try and feed my kids a warm meal every morning, and this would be perfect. Individual sized portions, easy prep and clean up! Plus i can just stash some frozen blueberries for whenever the mood strikes!
the fewer dishes the better is my thinking ? but I’m a bit jealous of your snow
