I came across this great "healthy" recipe for pancakes here. The girls really liked it and I thought it was pretty good, too. We even topped it with home-made applesauce instead of syrup. I don't even think we had maple syrup in the house growing up. Mom would either make her own syrup, or we would use applesauce or blended pears (which are both surprisingly good!). I liked how filling these pancakes were! The seemed to stay with you a little longer to help curb the hunger or the "snack attacks." :)

So this morning I asked Abby if she wanted breakfast, and it sounded like she said pancakes (though we eat pancakes once in a blue moon, so I know she really didn't). But that got me thinking, and I made these AMAZING pancakes. The kids GOBBLED them up, kept asking for more -- without any syrup or butter or any other extras. Next time, I think I'll spread a thin layer of peanut butter over the top when they're warm. PERFECT MEAL!!!
