Another One




Protein packed pancake
I have had a lot of successes with healthy recipes I find on pinterest.  Except for breakfast recipes! If it isn't a breakfast smoothie, forget it.  I cannot seem to make a healthy muffin, waffle, or cookie taste right.  Needless to say, I knew I was taking a risk when I tried this one. 
I made these for breakfast yesterday, because I just happened to have a 6oz container of blueblerry greek yogurt, and some fresh blueberries (one of Sedona's favorite treats).  They were sooooo good!! I decided to wait until today to post because I wanted to see if my left-over refrigerated batter stayed good over night.  And......it did! I had two pancakes this morning, using the rest of my batter from yesterday.  They were equally as delicious as yesterdays.  So....go ahead! Try them!! Next time, I think I will use strawberry greek yogurt and sprinkle a few dark chocolate chips on them. Yum!
And here is the recipe I used for my "healthy" homemade maple syrup:
1 c. water
2/3 c. agave nectar
1/4 c brown sugar
1Tbsp maple extract
Bring water and sugars to a boil.  Add maple extract and let simmer on med heat for 3 minutes.  Serve HOT!

I don't think we've made "regular" pancakes in FOREVER! We always put plain Fage yogurt (because it's cheap at Costco, we use it as a healthy substitute for a lot of things) in our pancakes. And then add in whatever fruit we happen to have around (usually frozen picked blueberries, strawberries, bananas, etc). The kids don't like pancakes any other way now!!
