“May you live with wonder, not worry; curiosity, not caution.”
We started this little tradition during the middle of summer, when social distancing was in full effect, of making pancakes every Sunday! Something about this little sense of normalcy feels so dang good, and I want little O to have these fun memories!
That being said, pancakes have, surprisingly been something that I have struggled with for YEARS! For some reason I couldn’t get the ratios right, the heat on the pan right, there was just no consistency! It drove me insane. After way too many failed attempts at them, here we have what I deem the World’s Best Pancakes. EVER! They’re simple, quick to whip up (we all know how I feel about speedy recipes now with an on-the-go baby!), and taste SO good!
What do I love about these? The sugar can be subbed for any sweetener of choice, the milk is all up to you, the yogurt is optional, swap out the 2 eggs for a large banana, throw in a bunch of other spices, chocolate chips, etc., you do you!!! Some days, I don’t have yogurt on hand, so I just add in the same amount but in milk, and BOOM, it still works! Hence why they are called the World’s Best Pancakes.
I hope everyone can bring these delightful little pancakes into their lives today or next weekend, or even mid-week, and that they make you go mmmmm the entire time while eating them like Oliver does!
ingredients
Flour—10 oz, or 2 C
Coconut Sugar—¼ C, or 2oz
Salt—1 tsp
Cinnamon—2 tsp
Baking Powder—4 tsp
Eggs—2
(Oat) Milk—8 oz, or 1 C
Yogurt—¾ C, or 7 oz
Coconut Oil or Butter, melted—2 oz, or 4 TBL
process
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon and baking powder.
Melt the oil of choice and set aside to cool slightly.
To the dry ingredients, add in your eggs, milk and yogurt. You can replace the yogurt with more milk if you’d like! I prefer the taste and texture with the added yogurt!
Fold in these ingredients until just incorporated.
Add in the butter.
Heat your griddle or pan over medium heat, add a small bit of coconut oil or spray to the pan.
Drop about ¼ C of batter onto the griddle.
Cook until little bubbles begin to pop up, then flip.
Cook for a few more minutes on the other side.
Reserve in a warmed oven until ready to eat!
Bon Appétit!
