Want to feel a little better about eating a pancake? These are for you!
Light, fluffy and mouthwatering, they are perfect for a weekend breakfast.
I will never lie and be 'one of those girls' that says she doesn't like pancakes. I mean, doesn't everyone like pancakes? Kinda like everyone likes a warm, comfy bed at night?
We usually have pancakes once a weekend, often on Saturday or Sunday when we aren't rushing out the door. Sometimes we eat them traditionally and sometimes the kids just want a smear of peanut butter on them to eat on the go.
Either way we all enjoy pancake morning. This past weekend I made this version with Greek yogurt and oatmeal. Here are some of my other takes {here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here}.
Yes, my 9th pancake recipe on this here blog. I knew I liked them, but that much? Wow.
So, like I said. These pancakes aren't THAT bad for you. They contain healthy ingredients like plain Greek yogurt and oatmeal, plus are sweetened just slightly with a little pure maple syrup {I buy mine for a great price at Costco} .
They fluff up like their other unhealthy pancake cousins. The extras stay good in the fridge for days. And they look pretty in a photo. Don't ya think?
Basically everything about these beauties works.
Put them into your Saturday pancake rotation, STAT! I will guarantee your kids will love them.

ReplyDeleteDo you have to use coconut oil?
ReplyDeleteNope! You could use equal parts melted butter or canola oil.
