Kale, Mushroom and Cheese Multigrain Pancakes for the Whole Family

I love a savory breakfast, so I thought I would come up with a savory pancake. This is a yummy, savory, healthy breakfast the whole family can enjoy.  These pancakes are full of essential nutrients for you and your little ones. Kale is a super food that is jam packed with essential nutrients. It's full of calcium, vitamin A, C, folate, fiber and iron. Mushrooms are a good source of vitamin D, folate, choline, and fiber. These pancakes are also a great source of whole grains. These are for little one's 10+ months who are eating finger foods, and for mommies and daddies of all ages.

Here's what you need:

Flip when you start to see air bubbles. Repeat with rest of batter. Serve and enjoy! Serving size for your little one is 1 pancake. You can refrigerate these for up to 4 days, and freeze for 2 months.
