This past weekend, Chris asked me to make his favorite orange juice pancakes for his breakfast this week.

So when he further suggested we use fresh oranges and our juicer this time, I set him up peeling oranges and taught him how to use the juicer.

Oranges are good food and not just because of their high vitamin C content. They are also great sources of flavonoids, powerful anti-inflammatory compounds.

Orange Juice Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup flour
• 2 T sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup orange juice, or ~3.5 oranges, juiced
• 2 T oil
• 1 egg

Directions

In a medium bowl, sift together dry ingredients. In a small bowl, lightly whisk eggs before mixing in the rest of the wet ingredients. Next, add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring until the ingredients are just mixed (batter will be lumpy). Lastly, let batter “rest” for 10 minutes before spooning 1/3 cup portions onto griddle for cooking. Pancakes are ready to be flipped when the edges are dry and no longer shiny.

Serve pancakes with REAL maple syrup and fruit.
