I have two things to share with you all on this lovely Sunday morning. One is a tad bit more exciting than the other so I’ll have it for last. The first is a recipe for a delicious breakfast item, which just so happens to be what I had for breakfast this morning.
To be quite honest, I’m not a big fan of pancakes or waffles, but sometimes I get the craving for them. This morning it was actually Isaac’s idea to make pancakes, but I went along with it and threw in some ingredients to make them a tad bit healthier (and chocolaty).
Pumpkin Buckwheat Pancakes with Chocolate Chips
- Hodgson Mill Buckwheat pancake mix (prepared per the box instructions with milk, egg, and oil for 6-8 servings)
- 1/4 cup canned pumpkin
- 1-2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Mix pancake mix, milk, egg, and oil using an electric mixer or using your own arm power. (I used 1/2 cup almond milk, 1 egg and 1tbsp. canola oil). Add in the pumpkin and chocolate chips. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. Pour 1/4 cup portions of the batter onto a heated griddle at 360° or into a nonstick skillet to cook.
The griddle works well because you can cook all 6 pancakes at the same time, however if you don’t have one simply place the cooked pancakes in a single layer on an ungreased cookie sheet and cover them with foil. Put the cookie sheet in a warm oven (250°) to keep the pancakes warm for approx. 10 minutes while the other cook.
Serve the pancakes with butter and maple syrup. I like to use Earth Balance butter and 100% Maple Syrup.
Now for the exciting part- a giveaway!
When CSN stores offered to let me host a giveaway, I perused their site and easily found many things I would like to have giveaway. I was immediately attracted to their Cookware.com site and found some great Rachael-Ray-Cookware.I’ve always been a big fan of Rachael Ray. Her recipes are usually quick and easy, although I have to try out her cookware line.
I would definitely like to have some Rachael Ray cookware for myself so I’m super excited to give away the 3-Piece “Egg Buddy” Set in Orange. I love eggs – scrambled, poached, fried, and “in the hole,” so I thought this would be perfect for all the other egg lovers out there.
