I explained a couple of months ago why I plan breakfast meals so I thought today I would share our favorite simple, healthful, and frugal breakfast ideas. One of my all time favorites is hot, buttermilk pancakes with butter and syrup or with homemade blueberry syrup. If I don't do up blueberry syrup then taking and putting chocolate chips in the batter is yummy too! Not sure on the healthy value of the pancakes with chocolate chips but they are good!
I usually end up making these at least once a week, sometimes more! The leftovers get put in the freezer for the kids to pull out for a quickie breakfast.
Here is my Buttermilk Pancake recipe(it makes a triple batch!)
3 eggs
3 ¾ cups buttermilk
6 tbsp. veggie or canola oil
3 ¾ cups flour(I usually use 1 3/4 cup whole wheat + 2 cups white)
3 tbsp. sugar
3 tsp. baking powder
1 ½ tsp. baking soda
1 ½ tsp. salt
Mix altogether. Cook on griddle till light brown.
**these freeze very well!!*
Notes: sometimes I will add blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter for something different.
Just in case someone wants the recipe for blueberry syrup, here you go! I got it off Mr. Breakfast!
Blueberry Syrup(12 servings)
2 cups blueberries
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons lemon juice
In a 1 quart microwave-safe container, combine the sugar with the cornstarch. Stir in water, corn syrup and lemon juice. Add blueberries and stir.Microwave on full power for 5 minutes or until thickened (check after 4 minutes). Stores well in sealed container in refridgerator for a week. Best to reheat 45 seconds in microwave before using. This makes a great syrup. If you like it thicker or thinner adjust the amount of cornstarch by a teaspoon.
If you were to come and visit for the week other breakfasts that you might have at my house are....
Mom's McBiscuit/McMuffin Sandwich

French Toast
12 slices of bread (usually use Texas Toast)
4 eggs

Mix eggs and milk together, dip bread slices in the mixture and put on a 350° griddle.
There would also be a couple of boxes of cereal to choose from as well since I get such great deals on them along with some fruit and milk!

You always have just what I need!! I am trying to freeze ahead some breakfasts for the fall because I have one in young 5's and will be working in the AM. I am printing these off, thank you!!
Thanks for the link to your recipe -- I love the blueberry syrup too :) In our buttermilk pancake recipe, I used all whole wheat, a 1:1 ratio of white whole wheat to traditional whole wheat. I was surprised at how well they worked with all whole wheat!
