Pancake Fun

I NEVER, EVER leave the house without a good breakfast under my belt.  It was a habit I had to get into.  It wasn't easy and some mornings start early, but it is so worth it.  Breakfast will make or break my day.  You better believe my family isn't allowed to walk out the door without it either.

We love pancakes and I LOVE to experiment with them.  I have a base recipe that I use, but I will play around with different fruits and stuff to switch things up.  My sweet boys are always so good about trying my experiments even when they turn out funky colors (like the raspberry lemon pancakes I made, delicious, but funky).

Pancakes


1 C Whole Wheat Flour
1 C Oats
2 Tbls Ground Flax
1 Tbls Baking Powder
1 Tsp Baking Soda
1 Tsp Salt
2 Eggs
2 C Low Fat Milk (sometimes the amount varies, I always start with 1 & 1/2 then add more if needed)

*You can top them with whatever you'd like.  I use a little bit of agave and what ever fruit I put in them.
