Why your body will thank you. 

This recipe provides a fibre-rich breakfast option that helps limit sugar intake. 

High fibre: oats are a great source of fibre and nutrients. Adopting a high-fibre diet can help you feel fuller for longer and is also associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer. 

No added sugar: these healthy pancakes are made without added sugar. Limiting added sugar helps reduce the risk of unhealthy weight gain and obesity, which increases breast cancer risk in men and postmenopausal women.
