just some rainy day pancakes

IMG_6739Blog

I think we all (baby included!) slept well last night thanks to a cozy rainy day. The cozefest continues this morning with a short stack. Kate, Nate and Liam headed to the bakery for breakfast, so I was forced to consume this whole stack!

IMG_6747-2Blog

I cannot stop thinking about pumpkin Kodiak cakes and their amazing texture! It’s not so much about the pumpkin flavor, which is very subtle, but about the texture. They are so soft and SO doughy!! The best thing about kodiak cakes is that you just add water and they are whole grain. Our Great Harvest pancake mix is fabulous, but it calls for egg and oil and water – a bit too complicated for me! Although I wonder if I could just add water and some flax…

IMG_6745-2Blog

You know what else is amazing? Biscoff spread. All melty and sweet.

    I’ve used pumpkin and applesauce instead of egg and oil in pancakes and it works. I bet flax for the egg and pumpkin for the oil…I’m guessing that would work for the Great Harvest mix! I hope you have a great day Kath!

    You definitely don’t have to tell me twice that that Biscoff spread is amazing! I was drooling just looking at it.

    I hear ya on the effort of the GH mix, sometimes just throwing in some water is too easy to pass up – though I’d argue the GH pancake mix is worth every ounce of effort 🙂

I wonder if you add some powdered egg to your mix you would be able to have a one step mix?? Or do you have to follow a GH recipe for the pancake mix?

    I bet you could just add milk to your GH mix. Mama Pea has a couple of vegan pancake recipes that are basically flour, baking powder and milk plus flavor/add-ins. You should test it and let us know! I would but I don’t have the mix but would consider buying it from my local GH if I knew it was more convenient. I agree with you about Kodiak cakes…so convenient AND taste great!

They were a big hit! I thought my older daughter would have an issue with them b/c they were ‘different’ than her normal pancakes, but she gobbled them right up. And my husband kept saying how good they were.

    I’ve noticed that most of the mixes that call for egg, oil, etc. can be easily substituted with almond milk (or milk) and some kind of binder like pumpkin or apple sauce. Give it a try, I bet it would work with the GH mix.

    They carry Biscoff spread at my local grocery store in the big jars, but also in small single serve cups. It is soooooooo good that I had to cut myself off. I ate my first jar in 1 week, which is out of control. It’s just sooooo good. I was eating it by the spoonful every time I walked in the kitchen, eating Biscoff & jelly sandwiches, putting it in my oats, eating it on graham crackers and I even used it to make s’mores, which were DIVINE — best s’mores ever. Oh my gosh….I’m craving it right now. Maybe I should just buy some of the single servings…..

    I came across Kodiak cakes the other day and I was curious but I just can’t seem to justify buying pancake mix these days…There is something about from-scratch cakes. Though from a convenience standpoint I am sure these are top notch!
