The pancakes are made with rolled oats, whole grain wheat flour, almonds, milk & eggs. I put a dollop of blueberry yogurt and a handful of freshly chopped strawberries between every layer. It's pretty darn healthy compared to what I normally eat. It was pretty tasty, too - just like in my dream.
Anyway. We're trying to change the way we eat, and get rid of all our bad eating habits before we start having kids. Diabetes runs in both our families, and heart disease runs in mine, so our future kids are kinda screwed already. I'm so excited for the change! We're taking it slowly so as to not overwhelm ourselves, but we're doing pretty good so far, I think.

Those look mighty delicious! How did you get them so fluffy? From my experience with whole grain flour or oats, they always seem to make my pancakes kinda heavy/dense, but yours look so light and fluffy! Care to share your recipe? :)
ReplyDeleteoo, thanks! I just loosely followed this recipe: http://lowfatcooking.about.com/od/breakfastandlunch/r/wwpancakes.htm
Deletebut I added oats and almonds to mine, so I kinda aimlessly messed with the measurings a bit, but it seemed to turn out! :) they probably won't turn out the same ever again, haha. It was a happy mistake on my end :)
YUM! I haven't made pancakses since high school - this makes me want to really badly.
ReplyDeleteoh man, really? I can't imagine going so long without pancakes! you should make some! :) I like to top 'em with peanut butter & honey, mmm.
DeleteYes!!! Harnessing the power of your dreams ;D Seriously though, these pancakes look amazing!

These look amazing Elizabeth, I love TONS of berries on mine, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries- the works. Yay for healthy eating! :)
