The Perfect Cinnamon Granola Pancakes

Monday, December 1, 2014

It was the Monday after Thanksgiving - the guests had left and the Thanksgiving leftovers were already gone. I had been cooking for a week but I still woke up with an itch to entertain. As if by muscle memory, I found myself in the kitchen improvising some cinnamon granola pancakes from scratch and it turns out I found the perfect pancake recipe! I just couldn't help but share. Hope y'all enjoy with your intown guests!

Remember, make it easy on yourself - get your ingredients all set out and ready to go before you start the recipe, just like in a G&G dinner kit! That way you can breeze on through with ease.

Ingredients:

• G&G Pancakes Starter (1 1/2 cups flour, 3 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, 1 Tbsp white sugar)
• 1/2 cup Pure Bliss Banana Gorilla Granola
• 1 1/2 cups whole milk
• 1 farm fresh egg
• 3 Tbsp Cinnamon, Cardamom & Ginger Banner Butter, melted

Directions:

1. Combine G&G Pancake Starter and granola in a large bowl.
2. Add milk, egg & melted butter and stir to combine
3. Heat a lightly greased pan or griddle over med-high
4. Scoop batter onto hot pan/griddle & cook until brown on both sides and cooked through

TIP: You'll know the pancake is ready to be flipped when you start seeing bubbles on the top.

Optional Toppings:

• Red Earth Organics' Blueberry Syrup (this one is almost not optional!)
• NaturAlmond's Georgia Peanut Butter or Almond Butter
• More Banana Gorilla Granola
• More Cinnamon, Cardamom & Ginger Banner Butter
• Sliced Georgia apples
• Georgia Pecans

My strategy today? Add ALL the optional toppings! When you start a day like this, it's sure to be a winner!
