Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes
Because a food blog just can’t have enough pancake recipes. Because it’s Easter weekend. Because sometimes you want to splurge and be healthy all at the same time. Because I love you.
I give to you a recipe for a fairly healthy pancake. It’s extra yummy too. Especially when you stop being a cheapskate and actually buy real maple syrup instead of the fake stuff. Seriously, what an excellent way to spend an extra $5. And it’s so healthy for you.
My daughter’s Curious George book taught me that.
And these whole wheat buttermilk pancakes were awesome topped with fresh strawberries. Yum. What a great way to start this very special weekend.
(Note: Lately I’ve been adding 1/2 cup oats to the dry ingredients and sprinkling frozen blueberries on top of the batter after I spoon it into the skillet. Extra healthy, extra YUM!)
