First Day of Summer!


Since it was the first day of summer for Jackson I made him a special breakfast. We had Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes. These are healthy and delicious. Breakfast has always been my favorite meal so I've gotten pretty good at making different things. This was a first and they were so tasty I think I'll make them again.

I used Lehi Roller Mills Heart Healthy Whole Wheat Mix (I never used a mix until I got married and I have to use Dee's pancake mix but I wanted to try this whole wheat version).

1 cup pancake mix
1 yogurt ( I used Yoplait light banana cream)
I banana smashed up plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
1/2 cup water plus a little

These are delicious. Jack was skeptical because he does not like to mix fruit with things (just like his Dad) but he loved them and wants them again tomorrow. I used sugar free maple syrup but my kids used regular. They would be better with my yummy syrup but I didn't have any or any of the ingredients.







Luke loved the pancakes.
