Pan-sfiguration for Breakfast

Well, these are no ordinary pancakes.

Aside from being shockingly beautiful in their “Who would have thought this was made from a mix?” buttermilk (or multigrain) deliciousness…*

*To which I add a scoop of almond meal or coconut powder for a nutty protein punch and some almond milk…because that’s what’s been in the fridge. (And doesn’t necessarily belong to me. Oops.)…these pancakes are also shape-shifters.Like a character from Harry Potter, they practice the art of transfiguration.

One minute they are pancakes……and the next, omelettes!*

*Which I can’t actually ever make successfully…so perhaps this is just a way of me attempting to redeem myself, completely by accident.

And then those omelettes?Well, they turn themselves into burritos!

That I wrapped up and carried around with me like a fun and exciting new toy that I wanted to show off at Show-and-Tell.*

*Or I just ate it. You decide.^

Made in a pan. And rolled.

And Spanish.

Like a good little pancake-omelette-burrito hybrid.

But Pan-Crepe is so much easier to say.As per usual, I’m indecisive and undecided on the issue.

I’ll let you decide.

Don’t worry. As I mentioned above, it also works with multigrain pancake mix.Which is all around a more healthy choice with it’s vitamins and minerals and fiber and protein and all that jazz.A little apple and banana* and maple yogurt and cinnamon makes for a yummy portable pan-rollito/pan-crepe breakfast creation.

*Opal and banono if you’re Raffi.

It ain’t pretty.

[And it might be weird as I have this thing about eating 'em cold...]

But it sure is fun.

Pan-rollitos/Pan-crepes

1. Measure out one serving of your favorite pancake mix into a bowl. You may add a tablespoon or two of coconut flour, almond meal, or peanut flour if that intrigues and excites you. [Just note that coconut flour results in needing more liquid later.]

2. Add liquid of your choice. Almond milk and soy milk both work wonderfully. I find that for 1/4 cup of multigrain pancake mix, I need 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (+ 2 Tbsp. if using coconut flour as well).

3. Mix well.

4. Add an egg white (or perhaps a flax or chia egg). This is CRUCIAL for easy flipping later.5. Into a hot, omelette-sized frying pan, sprayed with cooking spray, pour out your batter.

6. Roll the pan around a little in that cool way that’s fun to do when (trying to) make omelettes, so that the batter spreads out evenly all around the pan. Then, with a big spatula, FLIP!

7. Cook for a hot second on the other side, and plop onto a plate.

8. Stop for a second to admire how beautiful is your giant pan-crepe [slash] pan-rollito.

9. Spread on some nut butter or jelly or fruit puree.

10. Top with whatever fruit (or anything else) you like!

11. Fold and roll.

12. Wrap…

13. And GO!
