Pomegranate Pancakes!

It finally hit me. This year is going to be the first year I won't be with my parents for turkey day. I guess that's what happens when you grow up and move away...


It wasn't so much the turkey or cranberry relish that made me think of this, but the Pom I peeled this morning got me thinking. In the good ol days, it was Papa Bear who got the glory job of peeling. Then, I didn't have to worry about getting yelled at for the flying red juice that stained the kitchen walls and everything in the vicinity. 

I peeled it all on my own!

Although I stained my comfy white long sleeve tee, I did get some delish pancakes out of the mess. I added the fruit to the batter after cooking each pancake for 1-2 min. This helped the fruit stay in the middle of the cake and not stick to the pan/settle at the bottom. If you're into chocolate, I imagine some mini chips would be a great addition ;)


1 cup milk
1 egg
1 TBSP vanilla
1 TBSP oil
1 TBSP honey
1 cup flour (can use whole wheat/white combo)
1 TSP baking powder
1/2 TSP baking soda
1 cup pomegranate


whisk milk, egg, vanilla, oil and honey. combine with dry ingredients. heat griddle or oiled skillet. pour batter onto griddle and let sit for 1-2 min (just until it starts to bubble). use a spoon to add pom to batter on the griddle. let sit for another 2-3 min until golden brown. flip pancakes and cook until other side is nice and brown. 

the lil cakes cooking!

I garnished with some more fresh pom and no pancake should ever be eaten without honey! :) so so good! 

yummo!!

I guess I can adjust to pom peeling. I just won't wear a white shirt.
