Chocolate Rye Pancakes

Whoa, where has this week gone?

I had the odd sensation of looking down at my watch yesterday at 3 pm and thinking, “why is this thing backwards?” Because it felt like 9 am. Aaaand it was 6 hours later than that. I guess I can’t complain about the workday and workweek flying by, but man… I sure have a lot to do before Monday!

But let’s take a step back, and take a deep breath, because it’s Friday.

I can’t even type “it’s Friday” without singing that terrible Rebecca Black song in my head. It’s Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday…

Anyway, it is Friday, and I think Friday is a great time to talk about weekend breakfast-y things like pancakes.

But not just any pancakes… chocolate pancakes. Chocolate rye pancakes, for that matter!

Mocha Yogurt + a Cookbook Giveaway!

Mocha Yogurt + a Cookbook Giveaway!

I think it’s about that time of the week where we need some chocolate.

We need some chocolate, not just me… right?

And the best part is that this is breakfast chocolate.

Mocha Yogurt + a Cookbook Giveaway!

Actually, I take that back. First of all, this could be breakfast… and I can’t deny that I ate some at that general time of day this weekend… but it could also definitely be dessert. But the real best part is that the recipe is straight out of my friend Julia’s new cookbook!

If you’ve been reading this blog for even a couple weeks, Julia from The Roasted Root probably needs no introduction. She’s a gluten-free goddess, a pancake Wonder Woman, and (if it’s possible) an even bigger lover of roasted vegetables than yours truly. I mean, her blog name kind of gives it away! And her newest and maybe most exciting title is that of cookbook author. Her first cookbook, Delicious Probiotic Drinks: 75 Recipes for Kombucha, Kefir, Ginger Beer, and Other Naturally Fermented Drinks, was just released by Skyhorse Publishing. Hip hip hooray!

Whole Wheat Greek Yogurt Pancakes

Happy Wednesday!

I am still huddled under my blanket in front of the space heater, but this time I made you pancakes.

I’m in a pancake phase right now… still… from the holidays. Though I would rarely choose pancakes off a menu, something about having house guests always makes me want to whip up a double batch. It just seems like the hospitable thing to do! Ain’t nobody doesn’t like pancakes.

Especially these pancakes.

Vegan Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

Vegan Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

I never believed bloggers who claimed to bake with vegan ingredients just because they ran out of butter and eggs. Pshhh. You just know people want to see vegan recipes!

But, ahem, now I believe it, because I fully intended for these pancakes to have eggs. Then I got home from the grocery store and realized I had no eggs. Welp. Vegan pancake time.

Double-Ginger Gingerbread Granola

Double-Ginger Gingerbread Granola

It’s been a while since we talked about granola… so let’s make today about my favorite crunchy snack.

Granola is one of my biggest food weaknesses. If it’s visible in my apartment, I want to be eating it. That is great when it comes to things like dreaming up new granola flavors to make for you! Not so great when I have several test batches of said granola sitting around the kitchen all weekend. They may as well be tapping me on the shoulder, begging to be eaten.

These are the kinds of problems I have in my life. Remember Friday’s post about feeling lucky? Mmm hmm.

Double-Ginger Gingerbread Granola

This is not your bland garden-variety granola. Two types of ginger (ground and crystallized!) pack some serious zing. I would go so far as to say that you must love ginger to enjoy this granola. If you don’t? More for the rest of us, as my mom would say. (And Mom loves ginger.)
