No, no royalty arrived at our house this morning...however some royally good pancakes did!
You see Morgan has a hate hate relationship with vegetables and fruits (although she wanted me to note that applesauce is made of apples and she likes that). Because of that she has also struggled with some crampy stomach issues from time to time - no need to go into details there - but in order to attempt to achieve better digestive health we've been trying to alter her diet slowly.
This morning - revised pancakes and where our friend the king comes in. Typically whole wheat flour takes some work and an alteration of taste / texture buds to get used to, luckily though I found King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour - it's still whole wheat just lighter in texture and more like the traditional all purpose.
The results have offered success in that small person actually eats the end product(s) - no "this tastes weird" commentary - I swear she has some super sensed taste buds (then again, maybe all children do since they haven't been dulled by years of eating yet). Anyhow, if you too have been looking for some semi-revised pancakes (with digestive benefits) here is our recipe:
3/4 cup white whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp sugar (honestly I think with the van. soy milk the sugar could be left out - and honey, or other sweetener could be used instead)
1 scoop flax seed powder (sure flax oil would be just fine and this can be left out)
3/4 cup vanilla soy milk (with a couple extra tbsps as needed - reg. milk works too just add a tsp. of vanilla is you sub.)
1 egg
1 1/2 tbsps oil
If you need a lot the recipe measurements would need to be doubled, but for us this provides enough for breakfast and a few extra to save in the fridge and heat up during the week.
ps - this is a flour based semi-bread product - so does success here count toward my bread goal... ha ha
