Thoughtful Momma Monday
A baker in the making!
The washer is spinning, paint on my canvas-in-progress is drying and the KIDS ARE NAPPING! Time to play a little blog catch up!
My daughter LOVES her Eggo waffles in the morning - a little peanut putter and syrup and she is a happy, full girl. I was looking to save some money, and make something that I know all is in it and I came across a simple pancake recipe. These freeze SO well and make a quick breakfast for busy mommas. I just place individual pancakes in sandwich bags and pop them in the freezer to be used over the next week or so.
Sometimes I make simple, round pancakes - just the size to fill my babies' tummies for breakfast. And sometimes, we have a little fun (for birthdays, Valentine's Day, or just because!).
A little love for the tummy!
A forced smile from the birthday girl... and her evil-eyed bunny pancake. lol.
Only had red frosting on hand :o)

Pancakes
(adapted from Betty Crocker's New Cookbook)
Ingredients:
1 large egg
1 cup whole wheat/white flour mix
3 Tbl. ground flax seed
3/4 cup milk
1 Tbl. sugar - white or brown
2 Tbl. vegetable oil
3 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Directions:
- Beat egg in medium bowl until fluffy. Beat in remaining ingredients until smooth. For thinner pancakes (especially helps when making designs), stir in additional 1-2 Tbl. milk.
- Heat griddle over med/high heat. Grease pan (with butter) as necessary and cook your circles or shapes until they are puffy and dry around the edges.
- Turn and cook on the other side ( idea: after flipping over, place a few chocolate chips as eyes, nose, mouth on a face - so fun!)
- ENJOY!
Nothing fancy, just pancakes... but your kids will enjoy them! It will keep their tummies full 'till at least snack time :o)

I have been making breakfast ahead and freezing it too! Such a life saver on days when you just don't feel like making a big ordeal first thing in the morning! I should freeze the pancakes in individual bags like you suggest, because they do get all stuck together in a gallon size bag.
YES! I love not having to dirty up the kitchen first thing in the morning in order to give my kids a healthy breakfast.
