Let’s talk savvy, easy-peasy pancakes for a minute. My friend has a daughter who is allergic to many things; one of those is dairy.
When my kids were younger, Natalie, the young lady in question, spent the night. My plan was to make pancakes, but how do I do that with her allergies? I looked through my refrigerator trying to think of a plan B or a way to make pancakes without milk.
BINGO, I found vanilla creamer! It’s non-dairy, and to our surprise, it made the BEST pancakes ever. So my thought was if I could do it with vanilla, I could certainly do it with other flavors, too.
Give these Pumpkin Spice Pancakes a try, I promise you will not regret it. The flavors are out of this world good. Now that’s what I call savvy goodness on a breakfast plate!
Till next time, I will be Doin’ My Best at Cookin’ Savvy!
