Making Banana Pancakes

Well, actually, these are new Raspberry Cornmeal Pancakes for the upcoming cookbook.

I just had to use this title for the post because I love that song by Jack Johnson. Well, I love all of his music - have for years since his first album was released. I am not one to go out and buy lots of new cd's and I don't have an ipod... but I know when I like an artist, and I loved his music the first time I heard it (ok, fine... there's a bit of a crush in there too - it's alright, hubby is well informed!)

My older daughter has also come to love his songs (well, did she have any choice really?), and until recently she would pronounce his name funny asking, "mom, is this jack jonshon?" So cute!

Anyhow, back to food! So, I got the sense from feedback that many of us vegans love our pancakes! I find vegan pancakes easier to make than when I used to make 'regular' pancakes... hmmm, not sure why but it's a beautiful thing to make them now! So, I have come up with a few ideas of new flavor combinations for the cookbook, and have some of them tested already. This Raspberry Cornmeal variety is my daughter's favorite! They are fluffy and bursting with tart, vibrant raspberry flavor!

Oh, by the way, there ARE "banana pancakes" in Vive! :)
