a baby and strawberry pancakes





So my blogging attempts have been derailed a little in light of some news.  We found out 2 weeks ago that we are pregnant with our third little miracle! Unfortunately, I realized I was pregnant because morning (haha, what a misnomer) sickness hit.  And has been hitting pretty hard ever since.  Baby number 3 came as quite a shock, but we are thrilled! 

Because my family has been so sweet and taken such good care of me, I wanted to make them a special breakfast Saturday.  So, I made Strawberry Shortcake Pancakes! They were delicious!

Most of you know, we eat a plant-based diet, so I was thrilled when the recipe fit our criteria and tasted great too. :) 

Here's the recipe from Chocolate Covered Katie, you should give it a try:



Strawberry Shortcake Pancakes
(Serves 4)
  • 2 cups chopped strawberries
  • 1 1/3 cup flour (ww pastry, white, spelt, Bob’s gluten-free, etc.)
  • 8 tbsp rolled oats
  • 2 2/3 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 4 tbsp unrefined sugar
  • 1 1/3 cup milk of choice (I used unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1 tbsp unrefined coconut oil 
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl, then add wet. Mix, but don’t overmix. Cook on an oiled (or sprayed) pan, on low-medium, flipping each pancake once. You can boil some more strawberries (with a bit of sugar if you wish) and smash them to make a compote for a topping. Or you can top with powdered sugar or vanilla coconut icecream ;)


Enjoy!
They're yummy!
much love,

Tasty Thursday! Oatmeal Pancakes

I love breakfast and its a great meal to have any time of day. There is something special about Saturday morning pancakes with your family. Lucky for me, Quaker posted this recipe on their Facebook page this week. I knew you'd love it!

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick or old fashioned oats, uncooked
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 1/4 cups fat-free milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Optional Mix-ins:
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw)
1 medium-size ripe banana, mashed, and 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup finely chopped apple, 1/4 cup chopped nuts and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips


What to do:

In large bowl, combine flour, oats, baking powder and salt; mix well. In medium bowl, combine milk, egg and oil; blend well. Add to dry ingredients all at once; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. (Do not overmix) Add one of the stir-in options, if desired; mix gently.

Heat skillet over medium-high heat (or preheat electric skillet or griddle to 375°F). Lightly grease skillet. For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup batter into hot skillet. Turn when tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked. Turn only once.

Makes 12 (4inch) pancakes


Hope you enjoy!! :)
