Mother’s day is right around the corner. There’s no better time to talk about amazingly tasty breakfasts that are perfect for breakfast in bed!

The pancakes alone are so flavorful, but then you add the homemade blueberry syrup and it’s divine. My husband isn’t a fan of fruity “desserts” or almost anything fruity, so he had the pancakes with plain syrup and loved them that way too. So either way, it’s a win with these!

For some reason, my normal recipe formatter isn’t working right now, so for now (until the hubby can look into it for me..:) ) I will just type out the info.

Cinnamon Walnut Pancakes

Yeild: 10 pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup soy milk + 1 tbsp white vinegar
• 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp flax
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

Directions:

In a small bowl, or a 2 cup measuring cup, stir together the soy milk and vinegar and set aside.  In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the dry ingredients, then add in the soy milk and vinegar mixture along with the remaining ingredients. Stir until smooth. Heat your skillet or griddle to medium heat and using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour out your pancakes and spread if necessary. When the pancake edges begin to look bubbly and slightly dried out they’re ready to flip! If you would like a garnish of walnuts, feel free to chop a few for topping.

 

Homemade Blueberry Syrup

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cup blueberries
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp vanilla

Directions:

In a saucepan, bring the ingredients (all except the vanilla) to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Stir with a whisk often. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add the vanilla. Once it cools a little you can either use a hand blender or throw the contents into the blender and puree to desired consistency. If you want it a little more chunky you could use a potato masher instead. If your are going for more of a Smucker’s Blueberry Syrup kind of consistency then blend it until it’s smooth.

We finished every last bite of these with a giant smile on our faces. Hope you do to!

Enjoy!
