Not Your Mama’s Pancakes!

Comments are closed Posted by

Pancakes are a true comfort food.  They can be served at all meals, and can be plain and simple.  They can also be jazzed up, with additional flavorings and ingredients.  What kid doesn’t like chocolate chip pancakes?!  They can also be a quick, healthy addition to your daily breakfasts.  I recently did a class before Christmas on edible gifts.  It included a great recipe to make a pancake mix, to give as a gift and use later.  It has oatmeal in it with other healthy ingredients.  I made it following the recipe, but I had blood orange flavored olive oil.  It made the pancakes HEAVENLY!!!!!!!!!  I highly recommend this!  Thanks to my good friend for the Christmas gift of the flavored olive oil.  Give this recipe a try–even my kids like them!
