Anti-Inflammatory Vegan Turmeric Pancakes are soft, fluffy, easy and delicious breakfast option with earthy flavors. It’s a great post-partum food. These pancakes are great for lactating moms as well.
If you have followed my previous couple of posts I have been talking about my recent pregnancy experiences and endeavors on eating healthy along with trying to be on schedule. These pancakes are one of my creations for the post-partum times. Healthy recovery and ability to nurse y the baby is one the priorities for all the moms and so is mine. Since, I am been experiencing some highs and lows during this time period my feeding ability also fluctuates with the circumstances.
Extremely long working hours and prolonged sleepless nights sometimes hinders the recovery and the milk flow. These Anti – Inflammatory Vegan Turmeric Pancakes are great to maintain the continuous flow of breast milk and helps in healing as well. It’s a wholesome and nutritious breakfast along with being protein rich.
I love the fact that these pancakes are make – ahead and stores in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. It’s definitely a savior. These days, I mostly, aim to cook over the weekend for at least 3-4 days in advance especially breakfast. Even though I usually bank on smoothies but sometimes I crave for some warm, delicious and satisfying breakfast after having a crazy busy night with my 3 ½ month old.

After 3 weeks of removing gluten, eggs, dairy, sugar, nightshade plants, and so much more, I’m adding foods back into my diet. I stumbled onto kiipfit and wish I had found you and your recipes before this journey!
