Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes

whole wheat buttermilk pancakes

When I think Sunday, I think pancakes. And sleeping in. And doing nothing all day.

Sunday is usually the only day where I have time to make breakfast in the mornings (usually I am rushing out the door before 7am and just have time to grab a yogurt). When I do have time to make breakfast, my favorite thing to make is pancakes. Why? They are so versatile, and I just love all kinds – chocolate chip, blueberry, apple cinnamon, banana…

I found this recipe by Cooking Light for whole wheat buttermilk pancakes, and I just happened to have some buttermilk from the corn bread recipe I just made the other day. Score! These pancakes are really flavorful, soft and fluffy – what more could you ask for from a pancake? Serve them with your favorite fruit.

Can the weather get anymore beautiful? Isn’t it winter now?? I am convinced that January is one of the best weather-months in San Francisco! Definitely going to have to get out of my PJs and enjoy it today =)

What are you up to this weekend?

    Yum, I love this recipe because it is a great base for anything else I want to add in it (chocolate chips anyone?).

    The weather is awesome but we are going through a drought! SF is suppose to be foggy, cold and rainy during January. I think it’s going to rain at the end of the week. Too bad!
