I have a love-hate relationship with weekends. Who doesn't love being with family and having daylight hours to blow through to-do lists?But I don't like cooking on weekends. By the time Friday night rolls around, I'm done with food prep. Despite menu planning - which I love - I still am not in the mood to be in the kitchen.
In an effort to curve our weekend take-out bill, I've established Saturday's dinner as breakfast time. :-) It's working so well for us, especially since I can't do the fancy recipes I'd like to on Saturday mornings because of being pregnant.
Banana-nut pancakes have become a favorite of ours. I double the recipe and freeze the extras for quick weekday breakfasts. We had them again tonight and loved them yet again... so I thought I share the
Hearty Banana-Nut Pancakes
*Recipe adapted from epicurian
1.5 cups flour (wheat or all-purpose)
1/4 cup oat bran
1/4 cup wheat germ
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups + 2 tablespoons buttermilk
3/4 cup mashed bananas (about 2 large very ripe bananas)
2 large eggs
1/4 to 1/3 applesauce (amount dependent on flour type)
1/2 cup (2 ounces) chopped pecans or walnuts
~Enjoy!~
I do breakfast for dinner quite a bit, too. Usually happens on the weekends or on a day when Jeremy's gone. Pancakes sound sooo good right now... I miss gluten. :-( (You can make them gluten-free, but I haven't gotten up the nerve to open my mix yet because it's rather expensive. :-p) Ah well... eggs and sausage and gluten-free waffles usually does the trick too!
