I received this package in the mail from Quaker announcing their new pancake mix!
The results: Pumpkin Lovecakes!
I love this heart-shaped mold! Not only did it make them in a cool shape, but they were higher and easier to flip since the batter was contained
I used 2/3 a cup of batter for 2 portions, which made 4 hearts.
Each was topped with 1/4 cup pumpkin mixed with cinnamon, ground flax, walnuts, coconut butter, and syrup. Plus half a tiny banana with PB on the side for some fruit.
The husband made French press for us. I think the container really only makes one cup, so we each got 3/4. And whatever coffee he used was gross and burned (or he let it sit too long). I have moved into the top French presser spot in this house 🙂
I just changed all the bedding in the house and cleaned the kitchen. We’re off to the gym now.
I am FURIOUS at the weather forecast: 
. For the next 5 days. Ugggg!

HA! Last Saturday I made heart pancakes for my fam using the same little molds! Aren’t they great?

I love that Quaker came out with an oat based pancake mix, though its pretty easy to make your own. Are there a lot of other things in it besides oats and a leavening agent?
Enjoy your Saturday!
Laura says
Those pancakes look so good! The toppings remind me of sticky buns. 🙂
I love french press coffee, but I dropped mine in the sink and it shattered. 🙁 I’m back to a drip machine for convenience during the work week.
RosyRedLotus says

I want to find that heart mold!! Your pancake breakfast is so cute.
Candice says
I want that mold!! Any suggestions on where I could buy one? 😉 I LOVE making my food cute!
And boo about the weather. Where I live, it’s flurrying (but not sticking). Running in the snow is so surreal… and yet so annoying 😛
BethT says

Marissa says
Aw cute!
Sarah (Tales of Expansion) says

Justy2003 says
Those heart-shaped pancakes are so cute! And perfect for the upcoming Valentine’s Day! How were the pancakes…anything special compared to regular pancakes?
Amy says
Those look great! I am definitely going to try that new pancake mix.
fitforfree says
I love that pancake mix! The pancake mold is a great idea — I always get annoyed when my pancakes are irregularly shaped 🙂
seelee live (for the love of peanut butter) says
those look great. where is the heart-shaper from?
Helen Colley says
What a beautiful delicous breakfast. It being the most important meal of the day, I should really put more thought into my breakfasts.
Liz says
Pancakes look cute, but please tell me you DIDN’T use that Aunt Jemima Light syrup. That is not, by any stretch of the imagination REAL FOOD!
Meg says
Omg….those look sooooooooooo good.
Courtney says
Hmmmm…I’m thinking a pancake mold sounds like an excellent new kitchen gadget.
I made pumpkin spiced pancakes last weekend and I thought they were delicious. The boyfriend however disagreed. Which means I now have frozen pancakes in my freezer that are great for mornings when I need to bring my breakfast to work.
megan says
Those are the cutest and most delicious looking pancakes I have ever seen!!!
Happy Saturday, despite the forecast 🙂
Ryane says
Oh my goodness, that looks so yummy! How did you like the mix – did it pass the test?
melissa (fitnessnyc) says
those look awesome the extra effort makes all the difference. thanks for the review
Shelby says
Those look so decadent! I love how you topped them with pumpkin and I will be sure to try and pick up some of that mix! It’s vegan woo!!
Adorable molds, did they come with the mix?
littlediva says
Greetings from the gal in Greensboro who wrote months ago and hasn’t since then – I read every day, though! I was wondering – how do you score all these sweet ‘gifts’? Is it all from hosting such a great blog? Just curious… love swag : ) It’s fairly nice in GSO today – my hubbie and I took the dog for a walk but we’re snuggled inside now. Happy weekend!
thepinkpeppercorn says
oooh! wow! Wonderful!
Kath says
The mix was good – it tasted like pancakes! And the mold came in the box from Quaker. I’m sure you could find them online or in cooking stores.
littlediva ,
Just up the road!
I am lucky that companies and PR reps stumble across KERF and offer to send me samples and what not. This package stems from the relationship I started with Quaker in November.

Maggie says
Oh my gosh these are adorable!! You lucky girl 🙂 That first picture of them is truly food porn. Wowza.
Marie says
YUM! I can’t wait to buy this so I can make some for me and my hubby. We’ve been on an oatmeal kick since we both have bit high cholesterol and thanks to your blog, I’ve been finding more and more creative ways to eat oatmeal. You’re the oatmeal queen!! LOL
Nicole says
Oh Kath, those are so cute!
skinnyrunner says
those are so adorable and look delish!
Diane says
I have been reading your blog for the last few months, and you are my food inspiration ! My 16 year old son is on a weight loss journey -actually the whole family is- and he keeps asking me to bring up “that great food blog with the oats”- KERF. Today with heart shaped oatmeal pancakes, I think the idea has him in absolute bliss. Keep up your wonderful posts – you have presented me with food ideas I have never even considered before !
Kath says
Thanks so much Diane !!
Courtney (The Hungry Yogini) says
OH My…those pancakes look delish! The hearts are adorable!
Christine says
I just picked this mix up last week. I made the heart healthy recipe on the back of the box, but they were a little dry. I may try the traditional preparation next time. Since everyone’s looking for the molds, they have them at Crate & Barrel in their Valentine’s Day collection or at cooking.com.
Here’s a tip, you can also make eggs on the skillet with those molds. It keeps the whites a bit thicker, which I love. I always spray the molds lightly with Pam to allow the pancakes or eggs to slide right out.
Sarah (lovINmytummy) says
Sorry to hijack, but I got my little heart shape molds at Bed, Bath and Beyond, if that helps!
Michelle says
Those are wonderful!!!
Brittany says
I love the heart shaped pancakes- too cute.
What else do you use the coconut butter for and is it good?
brandi says
Those pancakes are so cute!
I can’t wait to try this mix 🙂
Meg says
What an awesome pancake package from Quaker and what fabulous pumpkin pancakes! YUM!
Josie says
i’m so excited to try this mix!! for everyone who’s looking for the molds they have them at LillianVernon.com you get 6 for $12.98!! just look under the valentine section. my 2yr. old loves them : )
Candace says
Kath — you always make everything look sooo delicious. Glad you like the new pancake mix.
Hope all is well.
