Pancakes

Pancakes are like the ultimate comfort food for me. Maybe because they were the first thing I ever learned to cook. We had pancakes for dinner many Sunday nights when I was growing up and I was often in charge. I could gobble up 5 or 6 of them in no time. Soaking in syrup with cheesy eggs and sausage on the side. Yum yum. But not healthy. Not even a little bit.

Lucky for me pancakes are not one of those foods that can't ever be made healthy. A Pinterest search for healthy pancakes turns up some very promising results. 

The one I tried tonight used oats for a base. I couldn't find the source but luckily the recipe was on the photo.

1/2 cup oats

2 eggs

1 banana

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Blend oats to powder in a blender then add other ingredients. Cook on heated griddle sprayed with cooking spray. 

I couldn't resist adding a few chocolate chips. And I did eat them with syrup this time but I think they would have been amazing with a little vanilla Greek yogurt. Also they are officially toddler approved so that's definitely a plus.

Sunday best

Here I am today after church! I just ate my last dessert until Easter. Though I might make a social exception here or there. I haven't lost a single pound this month which is extremely vexing but I can see that my body is still changing. I just need to kick up my resolve a little. Winter is hard but it's almost over.
