I’m not celebrating anything in particular – but these pancakes were just begging to have a reason to don their sprinkles.
Kodiak cakes mixed with 1/4 cup pumpkin and served with hot banana, chia charger, coconut and sprinkles.
Happy Sprinkle Day to you.
Anyone celebrating anything fun today? OMG just realized today is my friend Kirsten’s birthday!!!!

Have a great day..with a brekkie like that, I can’t imagine you not 🙂
Kori says
Simply divine. What kind of sprinkles do you use? I have bought some natural ones before, but they aren’t like these-the flat and crunchy kind. Have a wonderful Tuesday, Kath!

Thank you so much for responding so quickly!

I have to say, I think when it comes to thinks like sprinkles and food coloring as long as you don’t have any particular allergies, the artificial kinds often work better. I bought natural food coloring once and not only was it incredibly expensive, but the colors were so muddy and unpleasant I wished I hadn’t used it at all. I completely understand for people who have allergies or can’t tolerate certain dyes but for me it’s been all about things in moderation.
Cat @Breakfast to Bed says
I love the simple dishtowel backdrop. It looks so homey, as do the pancakes!
Michelle says
I am celebrating today! It is my 8th wedding anniversary!
KathEats says

Anyday is a great day for pumpkin 🙂 It does not have to be Thanksgiving to eat pumpkin 🙂
Actually, I made your recipe for overnight pumpkin oats last night–this was the first time I have ever made overnight oats. I am just getting ready to bowl the oats as I speak.

What a great reminder that any day can be a day to be celebrated…today I will celebrate the fact that I will have finally posted all my Christmas cards!

Love. It. I think the best days for sprinkles are the days usually reserved for serious business food. Life is a little prettier, more magical with sprinkles 🙂
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
Hahah I love any excuse to put sprinkles on something! Looks great 🙂
HRCK says
Those look so festive! And if it’s as freezing in Cville as it is in DC, I think any and all morning cheer is very necessary!
Nicole says
I was feeling a bit down today and just looking at your pics of your celebration pancakes (I LOVE sprinkles on anything!), made my spirits lift 🙂

I’m celebrating today-It’s my little sister Kristine’s 18th birthday today! Happy Birthday to Kristine and Kirsten! (It’s funny that their names are so similar and they have the same birthday!)

I’m foreverjealous of your breakfasts. Maybe I need to institute a breakfast dinner more often so I have time to make cool stuff like pancakes. 🙂

Celebrating 300 peanut butter balls completed for friends and family. Now on to white chocolate covered prezels!
Can I ask a weird question? Do chia seeds get digested? I have IBS and have trouble with poppy seeds…is it similiar?
KathEats says
As far as I know they do. They aren’t like flax – don’t have to be ground first
Kiran @ KiranTarun.com says
Perfect way to celebrate a Tuesday 🙂
We are having the carpets steamed this morning. I call that a celebration 😉

Cheers to celebrating Tuesday (and Kirsten’s birthday)! 😉
Kelly says
I saw this article and thought it might be worthwhile to share with your readers:
http://www.qsrmagazine.com/outside-insights/10-things-look-franchise
I know it seems you get a lot of questions about Great Harvest from people who sound like they are interested in opening a franchise and it seemed to have a lot of thoughtful questions and points I thought they might find interesting.
Kelly says
I should also say I am no way affiliated with the magazine. I just happen to get the e-mails since I work in the food industry and thought it could be a good resource for people who are interested.
KathEats says
Thanks for sharing that Kelly!
Katelyn @ Chef Katelyn says
I. love. sprinkles. #truelife
Brittnie (A Joy Renewed) says
Looks like a great “just because” breakfast to me. It’s official… I WILL make pancakes tomorrow morning for my breakfast!
Emmy (WIne and Butter) says
I haven’t had pancakes in FOREVER!! Those look delicious and I agree with Laura – it’s definitely time to get on the breakfast for dinner bandwagon!
Jen says
I think that’s my favorite photo – it looks like Christmas! Pumpkin really gives a nice color to pancakes too.
Stacy @ Say It With Sprinkles says
Lovely, festive breakfast!
[email protected] says
hehe, I guess I channeled the inner Kath b/c I had pancakes today too! I just get easily excited, my apologies 🙂
ahhh I always wondered!! How does one make those fancy shmancy pretty letters and fonts?
KathEats says
🙂
Do you mean writing on photos? I do that in Photoshop, but you can also use Picnk
[email protected] says
oh!! sorry, haha. Let me clarify. I mean the really lively and cute fonts you use like the “HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIRST!!!” bit. I’ve tried to change fonts on my blog posts but I’m not knowledgeable enough. Thanks! 😀
KathEats says
Oh, I just change it in Windows Live Writer!
Victoria says
Beautiful Breakfast!!! Love the festive Sprinkles! 🙂
tiffany says
yum!! i always see you using small spoons to eat your oatmeal…they are so cute! where are they from? 🙂 thanks
KathEats says
These are Crate + Barrel – a lot of them are. I just pick them up when I find ’em!
Jess says
It’s my birthday today, too! Except I live in New Zealand, so if my brain is working (its early here) it is still the 13th where you are, whereas it is the 14th here!
Unfortunatly everyone is working today so I have to spend my birthday alone 🙁
KathEats says
Awww happy Bday!!
Lorin says
How funny, I pretty much had the exact same breakfast as you except without the coconut. I used Chia Charger as well :). I made the mistake of putting too much pumpkin though, because it was a little gummy, but delicious nonetheless.
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
I say you never need an excuse to have sprinkles. 😉
Sandra says
It is one year ago today that my wonderful partner told me that he loved me!!! He called it our love day anniversary.
91% Chocolate Lover says
I want to try the Kodiak Cake mixes…but for tomorrow I’ll try a recipe for chocolate protein pancakes I found.
