Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Pancakes



Boo.  I'm back. :)

And this is what we had for breakfast this morning - Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Pancakes with Maple Candied Pecans and Walnuts.  What a mouthful.  And seriously, they are.  They're a tummy-ful as well...they will fill you up FAST.

Here's what you'll need:




Mix 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 2 T of turbinado (or sugar), 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in a bowl.


In another bowl, mix 1/4 cup melted butter, 2 slightly beaten eggs and 2 cups of buttermilk.




Make a well in the center, and pour your egg mixture into it.




Please do not forget the chocolate chips.




Fold everything in until it's just moistened.  Fire up that griddle or skillet with some butter and do ya thang.



While the pancakes are turning into puffy works of yummy divine-ness, candy up some nuts. 
I used both pecans and walnuts because I didn't have much of either.  I added some pure maple syrup to the nuts while they were carmelizing.  

When everything is said and done, you have this.  Very good, I add. 



Remember how I said these are filling?  I couldn't even finish my stack.  Drake and Cole, however, ate 1.5 pancakes each.  Quite impressive.

  1. In this manner my pal Wesley Virgin's biography begins in this SHOCKING and controversial video.

    You see, Wesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he revealed hidden, "self mind control" tactics that the government and others used to get whatever they want.

    These are the same secrets lots of celebrities (especially those who "come out of nowhere") and the greatest business people used to become rich and successful.

    You probably know that you use less than 10% of your brain.

    That's really because the majority of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Perhaps that thought has even taken place INSIDE OF YOUR own brain... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's brain about seven years back, while driving an unregistered, beat-up trash bucket of a vehicle with a suspended license and $3.20 on his debit card.

    "I'm so frustrated with living paycheck to paycheck! When will I finally succeed?"

    You've been a part of those those types of conversations, isn't it so?

    Your very own success story is waiting to start. You just need to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.

    WATCH WESLEY SPEAK NOW
