Simply Greek Country Pancakes

Whoever came up with cake for breakfast is a hero in my book. Pancakes are a staple here on the ranch. We even set aside one day a week to celebrate their goodness. 

When I was first married, I would make tradition pancakes, loaded with sugar and over the counter oils and of course white flour...ugh! But here is the thing with your health journey...baby steps and education are the two most vital things you need to have. Over time, you will be surprised the leaps and bounds you've made over the years! Back to the cake.

I love this recipe for several reasons;

1) It uses whole, healthy, vitamin and mineral loaded ingredients.

2) Greek Yogurt is packed with probiotics.

3) They are soft and fluffy and melt in on your mouth good.

4) Greek Yogurt is the bomb.com

Try it out, you won't be sorry! And this recipe is always Gamble kid tested and approved. They actual prefer this recipe over tranditional pancakes. SCORE! 

3 cups whole wheat flour or spelt 

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1 tsp hymalaian sea salt

1 tsp vanilla or almond extract(I always go with the almond)

2 tbsp raw coconut oil

2 tbsp raw honey

3 farm fresh eggs

1 1/2 cup whole or raw milk

1 cup water(add for your perfect consistency!) 

Add all wet ingredients in vitamix or mix until smooth. Add dry ingredients. Sometimes I have to add a little more water or flour to get that perfect consistency. If you like fluffier pancakes, have a thicker batter where a runnier batter will yield a thinner cake. This morning the kids asked for thin-cakes. They are both incredible! 

Slap them on a griddle and serve hot with grassfed butter, pure maple syrup and I always add fresh sliced fruit. I also make some homemade chocolate milk to pair perfectly ;) Recipe can be found in archives. 

Enjoy you "cake" for breakfast.
