Pinterest Interest

Hey everyone! So here is my new weekly installment of Pinterest Interest. It is going to take a different twist than what it did in the past. Every week I am going to pick something I have pinned (or a reader suggestion) and test it out. I am really looking forward to this and now it gives me a reason to use Pinterest more.

I am no exception to the rule about girls, chocolate, and that time of month. I woke up this morning craving it... Luckily I woke up at ten. So I booked it into the kitchen and started some brunch, but first I looked at Pinterest. I had recently found this recipe of Brownie Batter Pancakes. They look amazingly delicious. So of course, those were what I made this morning.

Ingredients: (Makes 6-8 silver-dollar pancakes)

• 1/4 all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1 T Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa or dutch cocoa (You can sub regular cocoa, which is what I did and it had less of a chocolate taste)
• 1 T plus 1 tsp sugar (you can use less if you’re planning to top with syrup and don’t want the actual pancakes to taste sweet.)
• 1/16 tsp salt
• 1 and 1/2 T applesauce or oil (Personally, I use 1 T oil and 1/2 T applesauce. But I don’t like fat-free pancakes.)
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 5 and 1/2 T milk of choice

After mixing all my ingredients together the batter was way too runny. Like, if I dumped any into my pan it would have went everywhere and I would have had crepes or a mess. I had to add extra flour to make mine work. I think I am going to do some more work with the recipe and hopefully perfect them for myself.


Okay, I'll admit, hers looked way better than mine and I am not quite sure how she did it. Mine were really flat but they still tasted really good. I just sprinkled them with some powdered sugar and I could have ate them all day.

I will mark these as winners and I will add them to my list of deliciousness. These would be a perfect breakfast for a special birthday morning. Or a special Monday. Or Tuesday.... Or Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.... You get the picture. These are great for anything.

Alright everyone, head into the kitchen and get cooking :) Hope you all loved my new Pinterest Interest and make sure to check back next week to see what we are reviewing!
