I used to love waking up on the weekends and making a big batch of chocolate chip pancakes for the kids. I can almost smell the syrup now (aah…the good ole days), but now when I see pancakes I visualize the hours it will take burning them off, so it just wasn’t worth it to me. But then I came across this recipe from the TIU girls and PANCAKE WEEKENDS HAVE MADE A COMEBACK! It takes some practice, the first couple of batches came out like rubber (sounds yummy doesn’t it?), but I promise they are! Now mine are as fluffy as Aunt Jemima’s! And the best part is, I can enjoy pancakes again with my kids without any of the guilt. You can substitute with any fruit you like and top off with a little stevia or agave if you like. ENJOY!
