Bird Seed Pancakes!!

There was this show “The Sunshine Factory” that my sisters and I used to watch as kids which had this crazy bird who used to squawk and screech “Penelope! You SQUASHED my bird seed pancakes!”. My sister can mimic this bird almost exactly and it still cracks me up to this day! So in honor of hilarious childhood memories and the joy of being a sister, today’s post and recipe are an homage to none other than bird seed pancakes! I cook mine in coconut oil which provides a super healthy and delicious crispiness. It is a crunchy and tasty breakfast that’s beautiful to boot! Can you tell I’m excited from all those exclamation points?!!!! 😉

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• ½ cup rolled oats
• ¼ cup cornmeal
• 3 tablespoons flaxseed meal
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• sprinkle of sesame seeds (to taste)
• sprinkle of sunflower seeds (to taste)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 cups buttermilk
• whole flaxseed for outside crunch
• coconut oil to coat pan

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, oats, cornmeal, flaxseed meal, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Pour in buttermilk and egg.
2. Heat large skillet with a bit of coconut oil. Pour batter and cook over medium heat until bubbles form on top and the edges are dry. Sprinkle the tops with whole flaxseed for extra crunch and flip, and cook until golden on the other side.

* I also made a quick blueberry topping by cooking down some fresh blueberries, honey, splash of orange juice and cinnamon. The longer you cook it the more syrupy it gets.  Yum:D
