Mini Puffed Pancakes

It's time for a breakfast shake up.  I've slipped into a breakfast rut and I've been eating the same exact breakfast every day for months now.  I love breakfast food but if I'm being honest, I get tired of even my most favorite foods when I eat them every single day.  It's not that I don't crave new and interesting breakfast foods - the problem is that I don't have the energy or brain function to generate an original idea or execute a new breakfast idea at 6:30 in the morning. 

I actually was much better about preparing breakfast when my kids were at home and I felt compelled to send them off to school with a warm, homemade breakfast in their bellies.  #momguilt  I guess I just needed their sweet little faces looking at me from across the breakfast table as motivation because for some reason, I can't seem to muster the strength to do fix the same meal for myself in the morning.  

A simple, six ingredient puffy pancake seems like a manageable task in the morning - even for me.  ​I can even mix up the batter before I go to bed and store it in the refrigerator until morning.  This is such a quick and easy breakfast treat that I really have no excuse for ever eating a boring breakfast again.  

Mini Puffed Pancakes
3 eggs
6 Tablespoons flour
6 Tablespoons milk
1 Tablespoon sugar
2/3 cup fresh fruit
​1 Tablespoon orange marmalade

Combine eggs, milk, flour, sugar and salt until smooth.  

Pour batter into 6 greased ramekins.  

Bake 20 minutes or until puffed. 

Combine fruit and marmalade. 

Top puffed pancakes with fruit before serving.  

I love fresh berries but finding fresh berries is getting increasingly difficult as we move further into Fall here.  I'm going to try this recipe again soon with apple slices and pomegranate seeds. 🍎I'm envisioning puffed pancakes with fresh peach slices on top for a summer breakfast.  🍑 Who's got some other topping suggestions for me?  Send me your comments.

Ciao!
