Christmas is just a couple of days away and many of us are still working to finish up last-minute preparations. I know I am. I don’t really understand why I wait until the last minute to get things done but I’m almost finished and ready to start celebrating. I am wrapping gifts tonight, I already went shopping for food, and tomorrow I’m cleaning my house and finishing up some laundry. After that, I’m done! Phew…
Vegan Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes
Then I can focus on the Joy of Christmas, like cooking with the family, cuddling with my hubby, and creating some beautiful memories with my kids. I’m soooo excited! 
I’m not sure what Christmas traditions you take part in but the food is a BIG focus in my family. This year instead of doing the traditional Christmas dinner with the whole family, we are doing an EPIC brunch at my mom’s on Christmas Eve, then dinner at my mother in laws. This leaves Christmas Day at home with our family of four. Perfect!
I’ll be making these delicious vegan blueberry oatmeal pancakes with the kiddos. Not sure what else I’ll be making but these are for sure happening. I made these a couple of weeks back with my daughter and she requested we make them again. Plus they are super simple and healthy, a pancake that’s both gluten-free and guilt-free.

Blueberries are high in antioxidants and help to boost the body’s immune system. They are also high in vitamin A, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, anthocyanin, copper, iron, selenium, and zinc. This protects the body and fights against viral and bacterial infections. Blueberries also help to reduce the risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
