I Couldnt Wait Until Next Weekend

Hello everyone!

I couldnt wait until next weekend to try making spelt pancakes. The buckwheat pancakes that I made yesterday were just too much fun, and I knew these might taste even better.

Heres the finished product...

But heres what I began with...organic spelt grain.
Is costs $1.99 a pound.

I looked at a couple recipes on google and then just made it the way I wanted to.

The spelt grain is a higher calorie grain than buckwheat, so I cut down on the olive oil to try to keep the calories in line. I also never add the milk or sugar. Its amazing. You can make pancakes out of just about anything. This recipe made seven pancakes.

This is the recipe:

1 cup of spelt flour (which is 1/2 cup of grain )

2 teaspoons of baking powder

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

1 egg

1 teaspoon of olive oil

1/4 teaspoon of salt

3/4 cup of water
The batter was a little runny but poured fine.

This is how they looked cooking up.

It tasted AWESOME!

Each cake was 80 calories.

I was feeling stuffed about half way through the third cake.

I added one teaspoon of natural peanut butter.
With three pancakes, the peanut butter and two large eggs,

the calories came to 480.
Just loved these spelt pancakes!

I think Id like to try millet next.

Id also like to make some crepes.

---------------------------------------------

Anyway, its almost Monday.

I actually gained 8/10 a pound this morning

so now Im back to losing four pounds in six days.

I was thinking the gain may have come because of those

silly "too-salty" buckwheat pancakes that I made yesterday.

Or I may not have gotten in enough water.

This is my second day in a row of rest.

I should be a-rarin to go to the gym this week.

Hope you all had a good weekend!

Sincerely,

Sunshine Mama
