  1. Hi, Bchappell25. There is no reference because we tend to focus on whole foods, and oat bran is more like a nutritional supplement than a food (and not a whole food, of course). However, it does have its advantages, and you are of course welcome to use it – for this recipe, you can make a 1-for-1 switch.

  2. Hi, NowColorado. We recommend that all soy be organic (aka non-GMO) for exactly that reason. We also recommend fermented and/or sprouted because together, these factors make soy a good food for most people. Note that the “foods to avoid” are the most unhealthy versions of very popular foods, and they serve as examples that one doesn’t not need to give up favorite foods, just upgrade and optimize them.

  3. Tried these pancakes but is this a one serving recipe? Pancakes were good. I topped w/blueberries and one squirt of real cream. I, too am finding the directions somewhat incomplete and w/lots of items I’d never bought before in some recipes.
