Fluffy Pancakes


Hello Monday. I wish you wouldn't come so fast every week.  I am happy that the weekend temperatures are looking up from the blustery windy weather the weekend brought. Back to the 50 degrees and sunny definitely makes your arrival a bit easier to handle.  

This weekend we had pancakes.  Or I had pancakes.  Mr. J turned me down Sunday morning.  It was 6:30am and he likes to wait a bit later for breakfast but still. How can you turn down at stack like this? 

These are the best pancakes I have had in a long time. They are healthy with whole wheat flour and a bit of honey for sweetener. Of the four cakes I ate, two had some mini chocolate chips.  I spread a bit of natural peanut butter between two of the layers and topped with coconut and maple syrup.

It was a good great start to the day.  And a perfect way to end pancake week.

  2. This does look like a great go to recipe for some wonderful pancakes. I really do like using whole wheat as well as buckwheat flour in waffles and pancakes. I will need to try your version-yum!
