Call me what you wish. When dark clouds cascade the skies and there’s a threat of rain, I think of food. So, despite the gloomy forecast for the day, I laced up my walking shoes and managed to break a sweat on my jogging trail.
As I dodged raindrops, I smiled. One major thing was on my mind. It was a healthy and wholesome stack of pancakes. When I got back to base, I fired up my skillet and made a free-flow batter with these ingredients:
- whole wheat flour/sprinkle of all-purpose flour
- baking soda
- old-fashioned oats
- leftover roasted pumpkin
- over ripened banana
- powdered ginger
- cinnamon
- brown sugar
- melted butter
- olive oil
- a sprinkle of salt
- dollop of sour cream
- splash of vanilla
- egg
Topped my pancakes with some fresh blueberries in a circle. With the drizzle of a little light syrup, my golden cakes were ready to be devoured. They were like sunshine on my cloudy and precipitous day.
