Pancake Day

Posting this because I made our favorite pancakes this morning, but today I used coconut milk. My son still gave me two thumbs up! These are perfect topped with MAPLE syrup. Yes, it's more expensive, but it's natural and you can use less and still enjoy the taste.

Here's the recipe as it appears on allrecipes.com then my comments are added:

  • 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour (I use 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1/4 cup walnut meal)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk, plus more if necessary (unsweetened coconut milk and skim milk both work great!)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon artificial sweetener (DO NOT NEED)
  • 1/2 cup blueberries (I don't use these just because Jaryn prefers plain pancakes, but it would be a healthy addition).
  • I always add a dash of cinnamon and sometimes unsweetened applesauce if the batter is a little thick.
 
Action item: Try these tomorrow morning!
