Pancake Week Begins

Day One

When I woke up this morning, I realized we were completely unprepared for pancake week: We had no white flour and only one egg on hand, but we did just recently go shopping for staples and we wanted pancakes, of course, so I just worked with what we had.

I ended up making 100% whole wheat / buttermilk pancakes with added wheat germ. Not for the wheat sensitive, but for the rest of us, they’re packed with fiber and nutrients, reasonably healthy and had their own sweetness that nestled with 100% pure maple syrup deliciously. The recipe could easily be made gluten-free simply by replacing the wheat with some other type of flour; it’s the buttermilk that gives these pancakes the edge.

Sounds delicious!

Speaking of nutty pancakes, I may try using some almond meal I have in some cakes later this week. I used it in the most recent version of Applesauce Yogurt Cake and it was even better than the first one!

I started pancake week with Hawaiian Banana macadamia nut coconut pancakes- from a mix (I know, whatever..) I got in Kauai last Nov. Added coconut milk and grated, unsweetened coconut, with real maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Dee- lish… though I think Pancake Week will actually only be Pancake Sunday, but what a Sunday…. ;^}
