I have been hungry for breakfast recipes lately. Especially pancakes. But being tired of the same-old buttermilk or blueberry or chocolate chip, I thought coffee might make an interesting variation. And having some instant espresso in the cabinet made things easy.
The coffee flavor is lovely with the maple and vanilla. I do use extracts in these because they work for potent flavor to stand up against the espresso powder. The amount of sugar is higher than other pancake batters because it needs to counter the coffee flavor and balance that.
These are perfect for me, especially with more maple syrup on top and a cup of coffee to go with. Obviously, I won’t be functioning without that. Ha!
Enjoy your Sunday breakfast- make it a lazy one and be sure to get out and enjoy the signs of autumn leaves. Not much here yet but we keep looking!
