Back to School Tip

I thought I'd share this time saving tip with you guys. I'm sure none of you are as busy as me right? Okay, so I'm going to preach nutrition for a minute. We've all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day right? Well, it really is, that's why it's called breakfast. "Breaking" the "fast" from the energy you burn during your sleep. It's especially important for all these kids going back to school. Here is a great recipe for pancakes that have protien to keep their energy up until lunch. Here's the tip to make our mornings easier. Make a batch (or 3) and freeze them. On those crazy mornings, just take them out, pop them in the microwave and you have breakfast in seconds. We made a batch last week and we've had them almost every morning since. They freeze great! Here they are:

Peanut Butter Pancakes
1 1/4 cup flour (I used half wheat, half white)
2 T. sugar
2 1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1 1/4 cup milk ( you can add a little more to make the batter thinner)
1/3 cup peanut butter
3 T. melted butter
1 egg
Combine the dry ingredients and set aside. Beat the egg and then add the milk and peanut butter until well moistened. Butter a pan or griddle, heated to medium high. Spoon by quarter cupfuls onto your griddle. Makes about 20 regular size pancakes.
