Whole Wheat Pancakes

 Good morning pancakes!

There is always something extremely comforting in digging in to a stack of pancakes on a lazy Saturday morning. As I do have a go-to plain pancake that I usually make every Saturday morning, I thought that I should make pancakes using whole wheat flour. I mean, whole wheat has never killed anyone.

Well, unless you count the whole wheat in rat poison. Another reason why I’m thankful I’m not a rat. Second only to the fact that everyone would run away from me if I were a rat. And that would just kill my self esteem right there.

 And so, in my PJ pants and a my Disney shirt, I set out to make these pancakes. I put all the ingredients in the bowl when, wait… I don’t have any eggs!

This, my friends, NEVER happens. I always have 2 dozen eggs in my fridge.

So you know my next course of action: No time to change. I rush out the door, go to the nearest Safeway, buy a couple of things, walk out.

Go to car…wait a second.. No eggs again! Of course.. Go back in the store..

I can’t resist steaming hot photos
 And I am very glad that I did finally end up making these. They were great. But, unlike my go-to pancakes, this made too many for two people. What to do…what to do..
Freeze them of course! Save them for later! Now these toasted pancakes: I don’t know, I actually think I preferred them to when they were fresh. See, with the toasted kind, it left them nice and crunchy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside.
I have never tried doing this before. I would always throw away the extra pancakes that no one ate (because really, who likes soggy pancakes?) This is such a great solution. No waste! Because I HATE wasting food. It hurts me a little inside when I do. Good thing I don’t work in a restaurant

  10. More than half the time when I go to the supermarket, I don't end up purchasing the thing I originally intended to. It makes no sense! These pancakes look great! I love that they're whole wheat.

  14. Healthy breakfast! Sometimes just doesn't know what I should have for breakfast. And you have given us some brilliant idea to lightly toast the unfinished pancakes if we do have. Thank you lots and lots.

  15. You should get sound ground flax seed and store in your pantry, then you always have an egg substitute and it makes your whole wheat pancakes even healthier!
