Making pancakes is easy. Trying to eat them in the most healthy way, easier than you think. Years ago, I converted my kiddos over to enjoying regular whole wheat pancakes.

My world of baking muffins and cupcakes has been shaken up a bit. All my cooking life I’ve read eggs and oil are staple ingredients to baking muffin recipes. Somewhere along the road, I learned oil could be substituted for applesauce, but the egg was still there holding the batter together. Then, I’ve read of […]
