We’re a little thrown off on the day of the week due to our trip and the holiday – it feels like a Sunday, which called for pancakes!!
I’ve been meaning to make some for a week or so now and used my favorite Buttermilk mix by Hodgson’s Mill. It’s super hearty and has cornmeal in it that gives them a really buttery flavor.
For toppings I simmered an apple in some brown sugar water and cinnamon until it was slight tender and the water evaporated and then slathered on some jam and almond butter
Thank you to Andrea and Brian for giving us two farmer’s market goodies – this FAB Raspberry Rhubarb + Ginger Jam
And this super delicious and smooth Charlottesville coffee!
Since our fridge was empty, we had no fresh milk and I had to use my shelf stable soy milk. I tempered it extremely slooooowly – 30 seconds heat in the microwave and then poured in some coffee (2 tbsp) and let that sit. Then poured in some more. Then more. It didn’t curdle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Which I enjoyed in my new Dean + Deluca mug! Love its shape
Our skies are overcast and I’ve got a list of things to do today, but I am in good spirits!

I love your table in the backround, were does one find it? I am trying to spruce up my patio, now that I have a privacy fence. have a wonderful day britt
Those pancakes look AH-MAY-ZING! Especially with that jam – I need to find me some of that. Look like you had such a fun weekend! I think my body is thrown off too – I don’t know what day it is!
Those pancakes are gorgeous!!! Looks like the right way to start your day
Those healthy pancakes look WAY better than anything you might find fast food diner…they look YUM-O!
If only my balcony was big enough to relax on…sigh*
The pancakes look amazing! I use the Fiber 1 mix . . . I’ll have to try that brand sometime!
I LOVE THAT DEAN AND DELUCA MUG!!
Everytime I go in there I ALMOST get it and then talk myself out of it – but seeing how beautiful it looks on the blog I think I may need to make a trip after work!!
Wow, those pancakes look PERFECT!!! I think all Monday’s should be Sunday’s!
Good luck on your to-do list today!
Yum! Those pancakes are really THICK! How on earth did you manage that? Is the batter just really thick? Very cool.
Have a great day today girly!

Those pancakes look so good! I’ll have to try that pancake mix! The pancake toppings look really good as well!
Good luck with your to-do list!
Oh yum! I’ve used that pancake mix before, and love it as well. We have it practically every year for Christmas with a blueberry sauce and confectionary sugar sprinkled on top. SO good! I’ll have to try it with the apples on top sometime…looks delicious!
And YAY for non-curdled soymilk ‘n’ coffee! haha…
Sometimes it seems to curdle on me and sometimes it doesn’t, and I pretty much do it the same every time. Hmmm…
Have a great day!
Holy yum!
Pancakes on a Monday sound like a great start to the week! Sometimes I make cinnamon apples in the microwave – with a big dollop of greek yogurt and some chopped walnuts, they make a decadent-tasting breakfast or snack.
Now I want pancakes! That’s a great idea for the apple topping…I’ll have to try simmering some like that. Happy Monday!
Those pancakes look awesome! Especially the topping.. what a great idea!
I love Hodgson Mill! I use their buckwheat mix and it does great for pancakes or waffles!
Pancakes look incredible!!!
The Dean and Deluca mug is adorable
THAT JAM!!! Oooh, scrumptious.
that jam sounds amazing! glad you’re home safe!
Faaabulous p-cakes – love the addition of softened and sweetened apples! Have a great day!
So glad you enjoyed the jam and coffee!
One thing I always disliked about regular pancakes is that they fill me up for an hour or so, and then I’m hungry again (kinda like Chinese food). Your pancakes look like they could last me all day. Well maybe until lunch. Thanks for sharing! –Shawnee
Those pancakes are the perfect fuel to handle a long TO-DO list!
Have a great day!
Delightful breakfast!
Enjoy your monday!
Your pancakes look delightful. I don’t make pancakes often enough, but after seeing yours, I might make them more!
Nice mug shot! Makes sure the next time you stop in the Charlotte store you get some Counter Culture coffee to fill it up.
I have wondered if that mix was any good! I may pick some up this week!!!
those pancakes look de-lish! also, your husband’s post is hilarious, sounds like you guys had a great trip!
what a great start to the day- almost makes Monday more bearable?
Have a great day!
Cute mug!
Oh those pancakes look so good…
Glad you’re back safe and sound from your trip!!
Your pancakes look delicious. Love pancakes on weekend mornings…or even non-weekend mornings.
yum, those pancakes look sooo thick and amazing!! i think i need to buy that mix…
Yum! I thought those were potatoes on the pancakes, but it’s a delicious looking chopped apple. Even better.
Oh my gosh, those pancakes look so delicious!
We had similar breakfasts today, Kath! I don’t have the Hodgson Mill mix available here though, so I used this recipe for Wheat Germ Wholewheat Buttermilk Pancakes (if you ever want to try them, tried & tested, and you can even leave out the oil):

Have a great day!
Cornmeal in the pancakes? That sounds really good!!
These look soo good! Enjoy your day.
Fantastic pancakes with toppers. I LOVE the combination and bet it is sooo filling!
Those pancakes look so good and hearty!
Yea for Monday pancakes! I like how puffy and thick they are.
Glad you guys had fun in C-ville… I loved seeing all of the photos. That place is gorgeous.
Those pancakes look so good!
I love pancakes for breakfast. I’m so rarely in the mood to make them, though. Mornings are always lazy for me. Your coffee sounds delish to me. I’m craving it right now.
I made pancakes this weekend for the boy, but I wasn’t in the mood…maybe I can get him to make them for me now that I’M craving them (haha, sure…)
I had pancakes today too! hmm great minds think alike
YUM, my favorite breakfast in the world! I changed the name of my blog recently (to avoid confusion with another’s of the same name), but even before the site was flooded with pancake pictures haha. And that rhubarb jam looks pretty good too- I’ve never had rhubarb before, actually.
Loved reading your recap of C-ville. Great little town. I almost went to UVA! GL in making your decision, altho I’m a little sad you’re not considering any cool towns up north, lol!
Yum! Havent had pancakes in forever. . .
Those pancakes look so thick and fabulous! Everyone’s been making pancakes lately–I’m starting to get a craving for em
please send me some of those pancakes for breakfast tomorrow.
thanks.
monday mornings should always be spent with pancakes! those look delicious, and i am so jealous of the jam!
those look like some awesome pancakes!
Great tip on adding soy milk to coffee without it curdling. I’ve thrown so many cups away thinking I had bad milk. Can’t figure out why sometimes it curdles and sometimes it doesn’t. A soy mystery.
The pancakes look great and terrific idea for a topping. Good job!
Dear Kath,
I love your blog, but for the love of everything whole grain, will you please please please, with nut butter and berries on top, stop making pancakes and waffles from a mix?
They’re super easy to make from scratch, and there are 6 trillion and 47 possible ways (exactly) to make them even more delicious.
Anything you can do to oatmeal and more can be done to hot cakes and their ilk.

Brittany ,
It was a family gift, so I don’t know where it came from
Jessica ,
Yep, the batter was very thick.
SarahP ,
Well, these tasted amazing regardless. I’ve had this mix for ages and have made them from scratch too.
Kath
That’s my fave pancake mix! I always use the buckwheat one, but your pancakes look so much more fluffy and delicious, I may have to try the buttermilk kind next time! Yummmm.
I love the shape of that mug too – would be great to hold soup in!
Wow the apple, almond, jam pancake combo is making me want to try it right now!
That’s the same pancake mix my parents use!
Looks yummy!
i need that pancake mix like yesterday!
