Cherry Almond Pancakes To Die For

This morning my kids were begging me for K-cakes (pancakes) but I didn’t want to have the same old, boring plain pancakes.  Time to get creative!

With ingredients that I already had in the kitchen…

Trader Joe’s multigrain baking/pancake mix, almond milk, almond extract, sliced almonds, frozen organic cherries, chia and flax seed for added fiber, cinnamon, a little agave to sweeten and coconut oil instead of regular cooking oil.

Before I flipped them, I sprinkled them with wheat germ for a boost of folic acid, vitamin E, fiber and protein.

A little grass-fed butter (Kerrygold) on the griddle browns the pancakes just right…

A little fresh fruit on the side and a dash of organic real maple syrup and voila, yummy pancakes to die for!  No lie you could smell the almond extract from a mile away and I swear they were the best pancakes I have ever had!  Will certainly be adding this one to the family favorite recipe box!

    Hey Laura. Great recipe. One question though. I’ve recently started using coconut oil in my recipes. How much coconut oil do you use vs. regular cooking oil? More, less or about the same?

      Actually I just use the same but I heat it a little so it works into the recipe as a liquid instead of a solid.
