Basic Pancake Recipe
For people who do not make pancakes from scratch, the idea can feel a little ambitious. I am writing this to let you all know it is not! The mess is no greater for pancakes made from scratch then it is from making pancakes from a mix. I make pancakes so often, I know longer need to look at the recipe or measure and this statement is insurance to you that it is easy and very hard to mess up.
There is a basic pancake recipe in this blog, plus a few modified recipes. If you make food in your kitchen or bake at all, you will probably have all the ingredients on hand to make these delicious flapjacks and making them puts you up high on the likable scale in your home.

Basic Pancake Recipe
Basic Recipe (I only dirty one bowl, because I do not like doing dishes.)
1 ½ cups of all purpose flour
1 ½ tsp of baking powder
1 tsp of baking soda
2 tbsp of brown sugar
2 eggs
¼ oil (olive, coconut, butter, basically any healthy oil you have)
1 ½ cups of milk (cow, or milk alternative)
Directions
Place all the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix with a whisk. Make a well in the middle of the dry mixture and crack the two eggs into it. Now place oil and 1 cup of milk into the well and mix thoroughly with the whisk, add the remaining milk. (if you like a flatter pancake, add a little more milk and you light a thicker pancake, don’t add all the milk)
On a lightly greased griddle pour ¼ cup portions of batter and wait for bubbles to form on the top, flip and wait for the second side to brown. Serve hot with maple syrup or other topping you like on your pancakes.

Now place avocado puree and 1 cup of milk into the well and mix thoroughly with the whisk, add the remaining milk.

Pour ¼ cup portions onto a lightly greased and hot griddle or frying pan and wait for bubbles to form on the top, flip and wait for the second side to brown. Serve with a bit of plain or with whipped cream and maple syrup.
