Bananas are definitely a staple fruit in my house, but they are also the only fruit that seems to always be going bad. Maybe “going bad” is the wrong expression, but none of us like to eat them once they turn too soft and brown. 

Of course, brown bananas are amazing for many reason. Reason number being this pancake recipe. These pancakes are light and fluffy but also have the full flavor of the aromatic banana bread that we all know and love. 

In a lot of ways, these pancakes are even better than the classic bread. First of all, there’s the instant gratification: no need to wait an hour for this to bake and no need at all to wait for it to cool (because pancakes are also hotcakes).  (more…)

If you like having lazy weekend mornings but still want a delicious, warm breakfast, then you should definitely try out these yeasted overnight pancakes. 

This recipe is from one of the latest books I’m reviewing: Homemade Decadence. Book review and recipe below!

Yes, you read that post title correctly: these are the perfect chocolate chip pancakes. Why? Because they’re fat and fluffy, made with whole wheat flour, and you can whip them up in minutes. 

But, before I give you the recipe, I’d like to announce the opening of my new Etsy shop! Last week I worked on setting up my site (etsy.com/shop/jackiesdelights) where I’ll be selling handmade accessories, purses, pouches, and hopefully some laptop sleeves too. 

Currently, there are scarves, headbands, and zipper pouches and I hope to be adding more summery items. I also enjoy knitting and crocheting but will probably wait until fall to post the bulk of those items.  (more…)

Have you ever made pancakes in a blender before? Turns out, this is actually a much easier method than the typical bowl-and-spoon mixing that you’re probably used too. Plus, pouring the batter into the pan is made much cleaner when there’s a spout on your blender. 

And this recipe is great because the pancakes are soft and neither too thick nor too thin; they have a sweet, hearty oat-and-wheat taste to them, without having a grainy oat feel. 

They are sweetened and flavored with bananas and blueberries, and of course taste great served with added berries, whipped cream, syrup, or whatever other toppings you decide to add!  (more…)

Looking for an excuse to have breakfast for dinner? Want another sweet twist on the classic pancake? 

Well then you have to make this recipe. And making a pancake cake is actually a great idea for any type of pancake recipe you have, however I would definitely recommend you try this one. These pancakes aren’t your average. They’re light, sweet, buttery, and just a melt-in-your-mouth kind of delicious. 

And this strawberry filling truly is a great match for the pancakes as it is also light and sweet.  (more…)

Weekend mornings begin with awesome breakfasts at my house. Since we recently cooked the massive pumpkin we bought a while back, I have been on my quest to find the best pumpkin recipes. 

It came to me that I should make pumpkin pancakes, as pancakes are a popular item at my house. After my first bite of these delicious treats, I realized that it was a recipe that I would need to make again these next couple of weeks (depending on how long our pumpkin supply lasts).  (more…)

This has been my long-time go-to recipe whenever I’m not sure what to make my family for breakfast. These pancakes are pretty simple, calling only for basic ingredients (nothing fancy). 

They are also very healthy, with whole wheat and oatmeal. They’re readily adaptable: replace the oatmeal with more flour for a thicker pancake, add chocolate chips for a sweet treat, or change the amount of milk for varying thickness.  (more…)

If you’re looking for a quick, easy, and healthy breakfast recipe, this is just the thing for you! Just like thin pancakes, these crepes are extremely versatile and taste good with all the toppings you love, such as whipped cream, maple syrup, or nutella!  (more…)

If you are looking for a twist on your classic pancake recipe, you have come to the right place! These pancakes are baked with a single slice of peach that caramelizes within just a couple minutes. And made with rye and wheat flour, these are a healthy and tasty choice!  (more…)
