Weekend Breakfast - NO box waffles & pancakes

These recipes are from 100 Days of Real Food lady that got me obsessed with all this non-processed food stuff.  I have read her blog through and through - I'm basically just sharing with you the recipes that I've tried of hers and liked and other recipes that I've changed to be non-processed.  Follow me and it will save you hours and hours of reading, but of course visit her website because it is very informative - more so than what I have to offer.

Once I made these whole-wheat waffles & whole-wheat banana pancakes, a box has not been back in my pantry & "pancake syrup" has been replaced with 100% pure maple syrup.   I know it is much easier to measure out one cup of premade mix & add water, but these are SO much better!  Make a big batch of them over the weekend & freeze for a quick breakfast during the week.

Whole-Wheat Waffles

2 large eggs
1 3/4 cup milk (I use Happy Cow from Whole Foods)
1/4 cup coconut oil (I get mine @ Trader Joes)
1 Tbl. honey
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour (I use King Arthur's white whole-wheat flour)
2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
100% pure maple syrup for serving

Preheat waffle iron.  In a large mixing bowl whisk together eggs, milk, oil, honey, cinnamon & baking soda until well combined.  Add in flour, baking powder, and salt and whisk together just until the large lumps disappear.  Pour onto waffle iron and cook.


Whole-Wheat Banana Pancakes

2 cups whole-wheat flour (King Arthur's white whole-wheat flour)
2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbl honey
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 3/4 cup milk
2 Tbl unsalted butter, melted (I've omitted this before and couldn't tell a difference)
2 ripe bananas, mashed
100% pure maple syrup for serving

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Pour in honey, eggs, milk, and 2 Tbl. melted butter (I usually omit this).  Whisk together thoroughly but don't over mix.  Gently fold in mashed bananas with a spatula.

Heat a griddle or saute pan over medium-high heat.  Swirl enough butter to coat and add pancake batter.


Berry Sauce

3/4 cup frozen berries (I use blueberries)
2 Tbl pure maple syrup
1/4 cup water

Combine all ingredients in small saucepan over medium-low heat.  Bring to a light simmer.  Cook until berries have softened, about 5-10 minutes.  Remove from heat and puree in blender (I use my Magic Bullet).

This Berry Sauce is great over the pancakes and waffles...I also put it over my cooked oatmeal and the yogurt/muesli combo.

Hope you enjoy!  Have a safe weekend!
