every morning k has plain organic whole fat yogurt with banana for breakfast – sometimes with additional fruit, i.e. avocado, mango, pineapple, etc. but when i looked at the packaging of yogurt i bought one Sunday morning, i realized i bought flavored yogurt instead of the plain. the problem with flavored yogurt is that in addition to added flavor, there is a LOT of sugar.
when i was searching for gluten free flour for my baking projects, i ended up in Bob’s Red Mill section. there is quite the variety of flours, cereals and mixes so i picked up a few things including pancake mix. with my shortage of yogurt, today was the perfect day to try the pancake mix!
i’ve made pancakes before so i know the consistence of pancake batter so when i added all the ingredients, i noticed the batter was too thick. so i added more liquid. other than this change, the pancakes came out great! m, k and i all ate breakfast together, happy pancakes!
