Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes

When I think Sunday, I think pancakes. And sleeping in. And doing nothing all day.

Sunday is usually the only day where I have time to make breakfast in the mornings (usually I am rushing out the door before 7am and just have time to grab a yogurt). When I do have time to make breakfast, my favorite thing to make is pancakes. Why? They are so versatile, and I just love all kinds – chocolate chip, blueberry, apple cinnamon, banana…

I found this recipe by Cooking Light for whole wheat buttermilk pancakes, and I just happened to have some buttermilk from the corn bread recipe I just made the other day. Score! These pancakes are really flavorful, soft and fluffy – what more could you ask for from a pancake? Serve them with your favorite fruit.

Can the weather get anymore beautiful? Isn’t it winter now?? I am convinced that January is one of the best weather-months in San Francisco! Definitely going to have to get out of my PJs and enjoy it today =)

What are you up to this weekend?

I just love pancakes and I always have intentions of making them on Sunday, but then my Husband always asks for bacon and needless to say, Sundays become bacon and egg day! Your pancakes look delish!!

Yum, I love this recipe because it is a great base for anything else I want to add in it (chocolate chips anyone?).

The weather is awesome but we are going through a drought! SF is suppose to be foggy, cold and rainy during January. I think it’s going to rain at the end of the week. Too bad!
