smpx 24: pecan cinnamon whole grain

This week was the second mix we picked up on vacation. Just like last week's, it was very easy to make and cooked up quickly.

In the finished pancakes, the pecan pieces were few and far between and I couldn't really taste the cinnamon. Actually they were kind of blah. I think I'm getting too used to all the weird stuff.

We can pecan cinnamon whole grain pancakes 2.5/5 stars. Next week: peppermint! Aw yeah.

smpx 17: carrot cake

We saw this post on Slashfood last week and knew we had to try carrot cake pancakes. The recipe is from Joy the Baker and we followed it exactly.

Grating carrots took forever, but it was worth it. The cream cheese frosting was perfect, too. Check out their picture, it's much prettier than ours (which was taken on my cell phone).

We give carrot cake pancakes 4.5/5 stars. Next week: oreo?

smpx 14: nuttin' honey

Nut & honey pancakes were another Food Network-inspired idea. We added a tablespoon or two of honey to the whole wheat batter mix, then sprinkled sliced almonds onto the cooking pancakes. When the pancakes were flipped, the griddle toasted the almond side.

Aaaaaaand SMPX14 was totally a hit. Next week: peaches and cream?
