Herrrreeee weeeeeeee gooooooooooo!! The start to my third-to-last week
I’m feelin’ that wine a bit this AM 
But breakfast always helps. And coffee!
Matt, the Superstar, got up to make me Great Harvest Pancakes this morning ! I was expecting oats and came down to find golden circles sizzling on the stovetop.
This was with the Great Harvest Pancake Mix, which is 100% whole grain. You just add water, egg and a tbsp of oil to prep for cooking. The mix was fabulous. We’ll def. want to have it at our bakery!
He made four different kinds:
- Flax, which I topped with Maranatha Choco Almond Butter
- Coconut, which I topped with coconut butter
- Pecan, which I topped with Pecan Pie Butter (!!!)
- Peanut Butter, which I topped with Cinnamon Vanilla Sunflower Butter
Only about a tsp of topping each to try to keep the portions reasonable. They were all IN-credible!! I think the crunchy pecans with the Pecan Pie Butter was my fav 🙂
I ate 3.25/4 and shared the rest with Matt. They were quite filling!
Creme Brulee Caftea!
See ya lata!
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says

Jocelyn@JocelynEatsFresh says

Becky says
I had pancakes this morning too! Made mine from scratch and topped them with fresh strawberries. DELICIOUS! Yours look fantastic.
Lisa says
What a way to wake up on a Monday. Those all look scrumptious, and the toppings sound so good too. I usually stick to plain pancakes with bananas and maple syrup. I’m a pancake purist. 🙂
Samantha Angela @ Bikini Birthday says
I didn’t know great harvest made pancake mix! I’ll have to look out for it 😀
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
Wow, Great Harvest has everything! Those look amazing. Have fun on the first day of you’re third-to-last week! 😀
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
Mmm…sometimes pancakes are one of my favorite breakfasts, although I haven’t had them in ages. They’re definitely going on my weekly menu. 😀
Lindsay @ Summit Sandwiches says
Those pancakes look so nice and thick! I love the idea of topping each one with a different nut butter. You’re lucky to have so many different kinds at your disposal. Do you know if all Great Harvest stores carry this mix…or is it possible to order online? I just adore whole grain mixes, and while I love my Kodiak mix, this seems like a yummy alternative!
Kath says
I think a lot of them do, but I’m not sure.
Veggielady4life says
Yummy! What a sweet thing to do and an excellent way to start the week!

I’m feeling the effects of some wine from yesterday too! After my graduation, there was a lot of prosecco and Montalcino flowing… oh well, it was a celebration – time to get back to reality (and water!)
Kristen @ Change of Pace says
Can’t wait till you open up your bakery! I live in Wilmington but often visit my sister up in Raleigh (she goes to NC State). I’ll have to swing by once it’s open to visit the famous KERF Great Harvest 😉

Kath,
Apparently I haven’t been reading the blog long enough to know the answer to this question…
I’ve seen the bears pop up on your blog time and time again! Is there a story that goes with them? A reason they go on so many of your trips? I think they’re adorable and a fun addition; I was just wondering about their particular significance to you!
Kath says
They’re just a quirk of our family!
Jil @ Peace, Love & Munchies says
Those pancakes look absolutely amazing!! Ah…almost lunch time. haha
Angela (ohsheglows) says
WOW what a great way to start the work week!!! Major bonus points. hehe

Camille says
Gorgeous pancakes! I would have been forced to eat all 4/4 🙂
Katherine says
I haven’t had coconut for a while; I could totally go for some. I love the color of your french press
Diana @ frontyardfoodie says
Whoa! Now THAT’S a good way to start a day off! Those look incredible. Kudos to the man for making them for you. So sweet:)
Lauren says
Those look delicious! Pancakes never even cross my mind as a breakfast option, but I sure do wish I had someone to cook them up for me while I was still sleeping!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
I love all the toppings you paired with the pancakes! It looks so gourmet!
Hillary [Nutrition Nut on the Run] says
YUM! What a special way to start the week!

Looks like a stellar breakfast! And by the way…..the picture in your coffee this morning looks like a jellyfish from Spongebob. (:

Wow, those pancakes looks beautiful and so professional. I want some!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
YUM! Can you get that pancake mix at other Great Harvests?
Kath says
I think many of them have it.
rebecca says
ha, better than how my morning started… mine started at the DENTIST!
i wanted to let you know that i learned how to make crema with a french press – a waiter demo’ed it while i was dining out this weekend – perhaps you already know this, but he said to get a better froth you should push the plunger slowly, only halfway, and then raise it again, and then slowly push it all the way down. i always just pushed it down right away.
Kath says
Oh cool – I will try that out!
Lana says
Hey Kath,
Where do you get all the fancy butters and which ones are your favorite?
Kath says
You’ll have to wait for lunch tomorrow to find out!
