🌿 Why Cricket Flour Makes the Perfect Breakfast

Starting your morning with pancakes doesn’t have to mean a sugar crash.
These cricket flour pancakes are light, delicious, and packed with complete protein, thanks to one of the most sustainable ingredients on the planet crickets!

Optional toppings: fresh berries, banana slices, honey, or nut butter. 🍓🍯

👩‍🍳 Directions

1. Mix the dry ingredients.
   In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cricket flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. Combine wet ingredients.
