THURSDAY - WHEN THINGS GO WRONG

18/05/15

So if you follow me on social media, you've probably guessed by now that I have a love/hate relationship with pancakes.

Pancakes aren't the healthiest thing to eat, and so I'm often left with the choice to go all out on my pancakes and make the most beautiful breakfast/dessert I can, OR try and make a really healthy pancake that still has flavour, but I won't regret eating later. This morning I don't know what I chose, haha.

Eggless pancakes can go horribly wrong - just to make you aware. They'll look the same, flip the same, but they certainly do not taste the same - especially ones made with oat flour. In advance of blog dates I plan recipes to post, so I'll always be on time on Thursdays and Sundays. Now I usually have a few lined up, pre-written, but with spontaneity today I decided to scrap what I was actually going to post and post about pancakes instead because everyone loves pancakes.

But I didn't want them to be calorie-laden, so I opted for an oat flour, eggless batter (which I would come to regret later) and decided I would make them stuffed with Nutella, so when you cut into them, chocolatey goodness oozes out..


Long story short it didn't work. The pancakes tasted like porridge and the Nutella set rather than 'oozed'. But you know what - it was okay.

I appreciate when things go wrong in the kitchen because it just shows I'm learning. It's okay when things go wrong in the kitchen, trial and error is just on of the things that make cooking enjoyable. It's fun inventing recipes for you all, it makes writing this blog worthwhile. 

When I perfect this recipe I'll share it with you, but for now, enjoy the mistake that were these pancakes, haha.

This was my Thursday, see you on Sunday,
