I invented another pancake recipe today! I couldn't figure out what to call this one, or what to serve on top of it. It's like a pancake, but you could eat it with salsa or ketchup as easily as with maple syrup. Better to just tell you what's in it!
1 pound of morningstar breakfast sausage, chopped or crumbled
1/2 onion, chopped
1/3 red or green bell pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeds removed and minced (optional)
1 clove of garlic, minced
Saute these together over medium heat. Meanwhile, combine:
2 cups of whole grain pancake mix
1 cup of corn meal or other ground grain meal. I like the Red Mill multigrain porridge stuff.
1 3/4 cups milk (or substitute rice/soy/etc)
3 eggs or vegan egg substitute (I don't know how applesauce would work in this case! Maybe yogurt?)
2 cups of grated cheese (sharp cheddar, gouda, soy are all good)
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix sausage and veggies into the pancake batter.
I have a new griddle and a broken oven, so I made sliver dollar pancakes with this batter. Cook over medium heat or lower, since the batter is so thick. Mine turned out great! But you can also do mini muffins instead. I like the way cheese batter muffins get all golden and crispy on the top, but pancakes fit in the toaster better! But whether you make muffins or mini pancakes, they are great to keep in the freezer and grab a handful for breakfast on your way out the door. I think I'll bring some next time we go camping!
Hope you love them!
