Let me just tell you right now that I don't cook breakfast like this every day. Usually, it's oatmeal, grits, homemade granola, or our favorite...muffins on Monday. But this Valentine's Day, I decided to do something different. I made up my regular old pancake batter, but then I stirred in some cherry preserves, chocolate chip, and touch of red food coloring to make some spectacular choco-cherry pancakes. They were amazing. And I topped them off with whipped cream to up the awesomeness factor a litte higher.

The kiddos loved them!! I'm definitely going to be repeating this breakfast.

Here's the recipe and, like I said, it's super easy. If you're making your pancakes from a mix, then add some flax meal to make them more nutritious. Don't worry; they won't be any less awesome.

Ingredients:

For every two cups of pancake batter, add:
2 Tbsp flax meal
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1/2 tsp almond flavoring
4 Tbsp black cherry preserves
just a touch of red food coloring

That's all there is to it! By the way, I once came across a 9 oz. bag of gourmet pink chocolate chip pancake mix for over $5....are you serious? These are delicious and you can make them super cheap, too. Try it and totally impress your kids!

Like the idea, not big on cherries, so would prefer to add raspberries mashed up.
