Breakfast for Dinner

Hello lovelies. Many apologies for being so MIA lately...its been HECTIC! One funny thing I notice about myself when I'm insanely busy is that I crave breakfast for dinner. I don't know why...but almost every night for the past 2 weeks I've either made pancakes or eggs! Which brings me to this random post on...pancake recipes I love! Strange? Well, if you try these out you won't think so!

First up: Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes from Joy the Baker:

Seriously these are delish!

Here's one I'm going to try this week...Cornmeal Molasses Pancakes from Joy the Baker:


And finally, from one of my favorite breakfast places in the country, Bubby's, their famous Sour Cream Griddlecakes Recipe. I am not kidding - these are HEAVEN on earth!

Pancakes are kind of awesome in the sense that you can add whatever you like to them to spice them up. All you need is a couple of pancake mixes on hand (if you aren't into making them from scratch) - I prefer Arrowhead Mills Buckwheat Pancake & Waffle Mix or Kodiak Cakes Frontier Flapjack & Waffle Mix.

My favorite thing to do is make "Protein Pancakes" (which I discovered in Scottsdale this month on a trip) which mix hi-protein granola into the batter and are stuffed with berries and bananas. AMAZING. I attempted to photograph my creation - however, it was one giant not-so-photogenic pancake (but it sure tasted FANTASTIC!). I even used fresh blackberries with a little agave nectar to make a fruit topping on the stove - delish!
