Over at The Happy Housewife, Toni has issued a Hot Breakfast Challenge<\/a> for February. One not to miss a challenge, I thought I could join in by sharing something we dined on for the first time this past weekend: Purple Pancakes.<\/p>\n

And you could make these, too. Really.<\/p>\n

Here’s the disclaimer before I get too far: I like to make lots of things from scratch, but pancakes I do not. I stick with my friend Aunt Jemima. (Yes, I know, they could be healthier if from scratch. But they aren’t and that is just the way it is.)<\/p>\n

With that out of the way, here’s how you make the yummy purple pancakes.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Blend about \u00bc – \u00bd cup of old-fashioned oats in your blender until they are fine like flour. (See– I’ve added a little nutrition!)<\/li>\n
  2. Add this to the pancake mix<\/li>\n
  3. Blend or process about \u00bc cup blueberries and\/ or blackberries until they are pasty and add to pancake mix and oatmeal (More healthy stuff!!)<\/li>\n
  4. Add water as instructed on the box, or until your preferred consistency is reached. (I prefer to use the just add water pancake mix–lower WW points.)<\/li>\n
  5. Griddle up those pancakes and serve to amazed children who are getting extra nutrition without even knowing it. Pile bananas and berries on top for even more nutrition and sweetness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Sorry I don’t have any photos. We were too busy enjoying the breakfast to capture the moment digitally.<\/p>\n

    But I can tell you about another pancake experience from last March-my daughter’s 2nd<\/sup> birthday party<\/a>. It was super fun and super easy. Is it okay to have the same party two years in a row?<\/p>\n

    I could make pink ones this time with strawberries. \u00a0Or just do that for Valentine’s Day. Hmmmm.<\/p>\n

    Anyhow, I hope you enjoy your pancakes.<\/p>\n
