{Flourless} Milk & Cereal Pancakes Recipe -- A two for one breakfast made with cereal in the batter and a creamy Greek yogurt and almond milk glaze. #glutenfree
Who's ready to serve this Monday a much needed can of gettin 'ish done?!
Dats right.
All the women who coffee dependent throw your lattes at mehh!
But first, PAN-flippin-CAKES.
...see what I did there.
Maybe it's me wishing it was still Sunday morning pancake time mushing together with the hustle & flow of Mondays but somehow this genius idea came into this foodie little mind of mine and just had to happen.
I thought long and hard about the type of cereal I wanted to use (ie: fruity pebbles), and knew how funfetti-effin-fantastic they were gunna look..until I took a gander at the meth lab of ingredients...
hydrogenated vegetable oils
Red 40
Blue 1
BHA
Turmeric Oleoresin
Did I hear a Nine-er in there?
And I just did not want any of that all up in my bid-ness OR my pancakes.
Trix did come in at a strong second, especially since Kellog's removed all the uptown funk of ingredients out of them, but after a good 10 hangry minutes in the cereal aisle I stumbled upon Cascadian Farms Fruitful O's which won my heart.
- Colored with pumpkin, carrot, and elderberry juice (yay no Red 40!)
- Organic & Non Gmo (yay no Frankenfood!)
- They help save the bees (yay for bees!)
AND they were CHEAPER than Trix. How you like them organic-non GMO-bee-saving Fruity O's...?!
...or Apples if we're being Good Will Hunting correct.
And I of course had to invite my favorite yogurt partner to the party too.
He always brings to goods to any party, like his wingman protein, squad of probiotics, and his little brother sugar who has to tag along but is cute and sweet so it's okay. Hi I'm Emily, and I personify and backstory any and all foods.

Oh my goodness what a great idea!! These look so freaking good - and I love that there are chunks of cereal in there! And that "milk" icing? Yes please!

fruit loops on pancakes? you're a genius!! i've been thinking about pre-making pancakes to bring to work and eat and you've convinced me that it's definitely the right choice 😉

I would consider this a junk food breakfast. Lots of simple carbs, no fiber. I wonder how many calories is in one of those?

I absolutely adore this!!! So creative, and I love that you found a suitable cereal without all the chemicals! That's basically the reason I don't eat cereal anymore, but your discovery has restored my hope 🙂 I'll need to snag a box and try these Pancakes soon!

I would definitely eat these and I love the addition of the organic cereal! Such a fun idea, I bet my kids would love these. I would be broccoli, I love a veggie that resembles a tree.

Cool trick with the yogurt too... I was wondering how the milk was so thick in the photos.

Genius! Pancakes are a go-to in my house because they are warm and filling. Now I just need to top them with some cereal 🙂
