To all my American peeps out there who may not have heard yet…
It’s Pancake Day over in the UK!
*pause to acknowledge my clever use of rhyming before 7am*
Also known as Shrove Tuesday…or the day before Lent.
(for more info, click here)
Now, I’m fully aware that I don’t live in the UK, I’m not Catholic, and I JUST celebrated Pancake Sunday two days ago, but c’mon…you can’t expect me (The Pancake Queen) to turn down a chance to wake up early and make pancakes instead of going to the gym!
I may have beat off the crowds at the gym tonight when I get off work, but believe me…
It was worth it!
Pumpkin Peanut Flour Pancakes topped with leftover Cashew Cream Icing and thawed frozen raspberries!
And the “recipe” couldn’t be simpler:
1 serving just-add-water pancake mix…this one is my favorite!
1/4 cup peanut flour
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice
Did you/are you celebrating Pancake Day today?
Are you giving up anything for Lent?
Like I said, I’m not Catholic or anything, but I have given up things for Lent in the past just as kind of a test of my willpower. One year I gave up chocolate…that’s the year I found out cocoa is in red velvet cake! Lol
I’ll have to do some thinking today and decide if I’ll be doing it this year.
Hope you all have a fantastic FAT Tuesday!
Now go make some pancakes!
So glad you celebrated too! Loving the pumpkin peanut flour goodness!
Happy Tuesday! <3
Happy pancake to you, too! 🙂
This morning, I made oatmeal for breakfast because it totally slipped my mind that its PANCAKE DAY!! Ahhhh how dare I?? 😛 Sadly, I dont have all the ingredients to make pancakes today.. but I will be having pancakes someday this week. 😀
This is the easiest recipe ever! I need to make these stat 🙂
I literally could not even read anything after “Pumpkin Peanut Flour Pancakes topped with leftover Cashew Cream Icing and thawed frozen raspberries” as my mind was drooling.
Haha!
i was raised catholic and i didn’t even know it was lent! i kind of fell out of the religion after i went to college. but i always do like to give something up, i’ll have to think quick!
I was planning on pancakes today, but forgot I have to work late, so so pancakes for me. I will celebrate pancake day on Thursday. I know, I’m a little late to the party, but that’s all I can do. These look killer of course. I am a lapse Catholic and give up nothing for Lent. I know, I should be better…
Have a great day Heather!
Haha, I’m in no way religious but the excuse to make pancakes on a week day is just too good to pass up, glad you joined in the fun!
My thoughts exactly! 😉
Pancake day is totally one of my favourite days of the year! I love pancakes loads, and any opportunity to eat them is good by me. I always opt for buckwheat pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, with a variety of toppings… but these peanut pumpkin ones do look rather tempting!
I’m not having pancakes today, but I am having a Mardi Gras dinner with my family tonight! Although your pictures are making me regret not having pancakes. 😛
YEAH pancake day!! Only funnily enough, british pancakes are more like crepes (don’t let my flat mates hear me telling you that)
I treated myself to pancakes as well. Spelt ginger plum ones. Wow I think best yet!! Yours look fab though. cashew cream icing mmmmm
lent? um….when does it begin? today? tomorrow? SHOOT.
not catholic or religious. But as a religion major, perhaps I should give it a shot. I’ll give up nut butters.
KIDDING 😉
Spelt ginger plum?! Those sound incredible! Lent starts tomorrow and I STILL haven’t decided what to give up…coffee, chocolate, fro-yo *GAAAAASP* Lol
OOHHHH i will be making this! FOR SURE!!
I had pancakes for dinner since I forgot to have them for breakfast! Pancake Day is the best day of the year 😉
