My Breakfast Romance With Pancakes & Playlists

June 10, 2016

I love waking up to weekends. Even better, I love waking up to pancakes on weekends. During the week’s hustle and grind, we rarely get to enjoy a hot breakfast. I look forward to each Saturday morning’s breakfast romance with pancakes, playlists, and my love.  There is nothing better than eating a yummy, hot breakfast, and then knowing that the rest of the day is all yours to do whatever you want. My love for making breakfast on weekends is the reason I put together the “Pancakes With Maple Syrup & Love” playlist.

 

Lately, I am really into making protein packed gourmet pancakes inspired by The Macro Chef. I use the word “inspired” consciously. When it comes to cooking, I only look at recipes to get an idea of some of the key ingredients. I rarely measure. I typically eyeball everything, use my own directions, add and omit ingredients according to what I have in my kitchen, and basically just wing it. 

 

Pumpkin Pie Protein Pancakes
During the fall, I love making Pumpkin Pie protein pancakes. The Mancakes brand maple syrup tastes just like real maple syrup. It is made from all natural ingredients like stevia. The only difference is, it won’t give you diabetes.

 

 

Oreo Pancakes
One morning I made Oreo Cookie Pancakes using cookies-n-cream whey protein, fat-free unsweetened greek yogurt, Truvia, and miniature Oreo cookies. They were delicious, and the macros were on point.

 

 

Banana Fluffernutter Pancakes
Recently I made the Macro Chef’s Banana Fluffernutter whey protein pancakes using bananas, peanut flour, white chocolate pudding mix and Fluff. This time, I followed the recipe somewhat closely because this was so different but so good. The only thing missing was tiny miniature marshmallows used by the Macro Chef (where does he find those?).

 

Anticipating the end result with my cooking style is exciting because it will never taste exactly like before, nor will it ever be replicated. I do cringe a little when someone asks me for a recipe, though, because I have no idea how to begin describing what I did. My husband really loved these pancakes, and you know what they say about the way to a man’s heart.

 

 

Jamie Lidell’s “Another Day” gets me ready to dive in the kitchen, whip up some breakfast, and work in a few kisses whenever my husband strolls by for more coffee. I hope you get to enjoy the happy breakfast vibes this playlist creates as much as I do.
