I grew up thinking that the perfect pancake (my favorite food as a child) was made with a certain mix. As an adult I began to understand that anything with that much sodium, aluminum, completely processed flour, and preservative content couldn’t be good for me . . . or my kids! So on went the search for a substitute! At the risk of sounding like a commercial: our pancake search went on and on. We had a couple successes and a lot of gloppy, icky, flapjack failures.
A few years ago (I say a few, but really, I’m older than I care to admit . . . and it was more like seven or eight), a friend introduced us to Sue Gregg. My friend bought her whole line of cookbooks and loved them. (I keep meaning to ask if she still uses them, but alas in my old age my memory seems to be failing me.) I simply signed up for the free recipe sampler and helped myself to all the free recipes on her site! This is where I got our now favorite pancake recipe! We use oatmeal in the blender batter waffles/pancakes - heart healthy AND yummy! We also love the baked parmesan chicken and a few others. Hope you enjoy too!
For bunches more great ideas, head to Shannon’s Rocks In My Dryer!
I’ll have to check that out. National Waffle Day is this Friday- I only know that b/c Eatingwell.com sent me their newsletter with a recipe for multi-grain waffles in it!
We’re big waffle fans at this house so I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!
Thank you so much for that website. I’ve looked it over a little, and I can’t wait to sit down and read through it when I have more time!
Thanks for the link–I’ll have to check out these recipes! I try to make as much as possible from scratch–reading labels can be scary!
Just went to the website…. Sue reminds me of Helen Thorne!!
Said friend does still use the cookbooks on occasion. Yet, her very favorite recipes from the entire cookbook collection are still the two recipes you mentioned (blender batter pancakes and baked parmesan chicken). Enjoy your waffles!
wow, awesome idea. can’t wait to check out her info. thanks!
