Cancer Prevention Month with Oatmeal Pancakes -Tom Brady Breakfast Favorite!
February is Cancer Prevention Month and my Eating Well Through Cancer cookbook has an entire chapter devoted to Healthy Eating’ for cancer prevention. Tom Brady announced he starts his day with Oatmeal Pancakes. In my Oatmeal Pancakes recipe from my cancer cookbook, I have mashed bananas and I make them daily for my grand kids. There is not one food or food group that is most important to prevention and survivorship but research has shown that a healthy balanced diet within moderation, and according to the Dietary Guidelines, is the best recommendation for food intake. These banana oatmeal pancakes make a super breakfast.
Tom Brady Starts his Day with Oatmeal Pancakes
I was excited when I heard Tom Brady of the New England Patriots say he starts his morning with Oatmeal Pancakes for breakfast. I loved this recipe and it’s a kid favorite! OK, they might not be my exact recipe but we both make Oatmeal Pancakes for breakfast. I keep these pancakes in the freezer and pop in the microwave. In fact, the kids LOVE to help me make my Oatmeal Pancakes from my cancer cookbook. We sometimes put food coloring in them for different colored pancakes. Thrilled to do anything that cute Tom Brady does, I think my simple oatmeal pancake recipe with banana will be your favorite breakfast too! Sometimes, we call them Banana Oatmeal Pancakes and no matter what you call them, we love this easy healthy pancake recipe.

Healthy foods, such as whole grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables, will decrease your risk of cancer. These foods all contain dietary fiber, which is thought to protect against colon cancer.
