On Father's Day, Brittany shared a post (here) which explained the pancake tradition for our family. In my home, Saturday is officially known as Pancake Day (I'm just not willing to get up early enough to make them before church on Sundays). My girls LOVE pancakes as much as their Aunt Brittany and they're often asking if it's Pancake Day yet by Wednesday.
I don't very often make pancakes from scratch so I'm not sharing a recipe here, but I love to customize our pancakes by adding a variety of ingredients. The basic mix that I start with is Aunt Jemima's Whole Wheat Blend. They are very good as is, but I rarely leave them that way. I almost always add some vanilla when I mix them up. From there, I choose from a number of add-ins based on what sounds good for that morning. Some of my favorites include: oatmeal, canned pumpkin, applesauce and mashed banana. With most of these I throw in some cinnamon as well. The stack pictured above was perfected by adding a personal favorite: grated zucchini along with cinnamon. Hope you'll try playing with your pancakes, too!
Mmmmmm. :)
