Rise and shine!
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I love going all out on the weekends. And since I dont own a waffle iron, pancakes are my very favorite way to celebrate Saturday mornings.
These pancakes are a great way to celebrate the season! Full of spice, they remind me of my very favorite dessert: old-fashioned gingerbread. I used whole-wheat flour in these to increase the fiber and staying power so youll stay full and happy all morning after a breakfast of these!
Personally, I love to top my pancakes with maple syrup and a fried egg over easy—its the way my mom always did it and taking a big bite of both pancake and egg at the same time never fails to make me feel nostalgic.
