It worked wonderfully. The kids warmed them up in the toaster. Only problem is they ran out too fast. I guess I need a double gigantic batch!

I'd love to see more recipes. I see bloggers often comment about the need to eat less processed foods but they leave it at that. I checked out a few cooking blogs but they tend to like really fancy stuff. I mention this because my Wife and I have made the transition from eating only processed foods to making everything ourselves and I'd love more recipes. Overall I really enjoy the blog, it's survived several purges of my reader :) You asked a few posts back what your readers would like more of and I was going to post not to change anything, I enjoy the blog as it is but I changed my mind.

We use a cheap egg substitute (of baking powder, water and oil) and use some sort of milk substitute (rice milk, almond milk, coconut milk, etc.) along with a mushy sweet fruit or veggie (pumpkin, butternut squash, sweet potato, or banana). I do use whole wheat flour when I make waffles. I let them cool on a cookie sheet and then freeze them. Everyone loves it when I make the waffles with coconut milk (from when we break open a coconut and blend the flesh of it in the food processor) with chunks of apples and walnuts. I never use a mix because of the egg and milk issue. I just use recipes from google or from my mom's cookbooks that she NEVER used. In our house, we have egg and milk allergies.

For some reason, I just can't stomach the thought of vinegar, and I always use lemon juice. I made up a mega batch of pancake "mix" and put it in a large tupperware container. But I always make more than we'll eat and freeze the remainder for my kids for weekday breakfasts. You can also use lemon juice in the milk instead of vinegar to make sour milk.

Way better than anything I ever had out of a box. I asked the Wife, why in the world did we ever buy boxed pancakes!

A nice, hot pancake with gooey chocolate chips! Yum. Good idea! I know your recipe was healthy, but our favorite when we were kids was with CHOCOLATE CHIPS!
