One day a month, I spend the morning making piles of pancakes for my little pancake eating piggies. They love them and so I have to oblige. For one, I can make them exactly the way we like (half whole wheat and vegan), we save money and packaging. In a pinch we have bought store bought kinds, but they are never as good, always a bit on the chewy or spongy side. It’s also hard to find inexpensive vegan pancakes .

I make mine from a modified recipe from VWAV that is quadrupled. I lay them all out on plate to allow them to cool and then put them on plates in the freezer for 15-30 minutes. I pluck them all off the plate into freezer bags. I have been doing this for almost a year now.

Lately I have been saving a cups worth of pancake batter and adding in stuff for me. I add a handful of oats, a sprinkling of unsalted sunflower seeds, dried cranberries (or cherries)and chopped walnuts.  I pop them in the toaster eat them plain for snacks. So yummy.
