Upon waking up, one of our first thoughts is about breakfast. Tom & I are big fans of breakfast, from simple to fancy, it doesn't much matter. I've never quite figured out skipping breakfast. I usually wake up hungry, and though I'm a coffee drinker, I much more useless without food in me than I am without coffee.
Last weekend, while pondering our breakfast options and ruling out eggs (tired of them), cereal (too mundane), and oatmeal (had it earlier in the week) Tom came up with the brilliant idea of pancakes with walnuts, banana and blueberries. With this idea, we sprung in to action.
Tom headed out to the store, as we were out of maple syrup. I poked around for a good pancake recipe. I ended up using the multi-grain pancake recipe in
Super Natural Every Day by Heidi Swanson. Once I had the pancakes on the griddle, I added the chopped banana, toasted walnut and blueberries. These were
hearty pancakes, they held us through a 3.5 mile walk and til mid-afternoon. I had some left over batter, which I've frozen (without the add-ins). I'm not sure how well it will thaw and cook, but it's worth a try.
