Okay so this one is crazy easy!!! I actually feel kinda silly posting about a recipe that is so incredibly easy but I can't resist! These Sweet Polenta Pancakes are irresistible. Because Saturday mornings are meant for yard sales and feeding the chickens I am keeping this recipe uber uber simple and telling you to "just do it", buy the pre-made polenta that comes in a tube. Just slice it up and it's already pancake shaped.
As a vegan, polenta is an amazing "creamy" base for beautiful veges, thick stews and gravies. It's an ode' to Italia and makes me feel like I'm cooking an old family recipe. But swwweeetttt??? Say, what? When polenta is a staple in your pantry you begin to dream up amazing possibilities for this little wonder.
Pancakes it is!!!
This comfort food is pulling double duty and providing the most amazing breakfast this morning. Pan fried in coconut oil lends its sweet nutty flavor and smothered with warm summer berries makes my heart sing. Add organic free range eggs and turkey bacon and your have just made your Caveman's Saturday morning bright!
