Easy cinnamon and Brown Sugar Pancakes

 

Ashley rarely eats breakfast, the reason being she hates to wake up early. One way to get her out of bed is with some liquid motivation, followed by the smell of yuminess. In comes a cup of fresh brewed coffee and cinnamon and brown sugar pancakes. These work especially well when your significant other is still asleep, and presented both of them simultaneously, in a surprise-like fashion. ;)

Ingredients:

2 Cups of Jiffy Box mix (Using that recipe on the back for pancakes)

1 1/4 Cups of milk

2 Teaspoons of Cinnamon

1 Tablespoon of Brown Sugar (More depending on your taste)

Butter for cooking

Syrup:

Syrup for dipping

Butter for the syrup

1. Mix the jiffy and milk together in a bowl. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon to the mixture, and stir.

2. Get a pan or griddle ready for the pancakes. Put it on medium, an once it gets heated up...add a pad of butter. This will give them a nice golden brown color.
3. Using a tablespoon, scoop some onto the griddle. Once cooked, put onto a plate
4. In a small bowl for dipping, add some syrup with a pad of butter. Microwave for 30 seconds, or until the butter is melted.
5. Serve to your significant other, and watch it light up their day. =)

Raspberry breakfast treats

I made these as a surprise for Ronnie one morning when I was actually up before him.

Ingredients:

Pillsbury cinnamon rolls

2-3 Tbsp Raspberry jam(seedless)

Procedure:

Preheat oven to 350

1.) Unroll the dough and cover one side with the jam.

2.) Fold dough over on itself, then break apart along perforated edges.

3.) Twist each piece and seal the end.

4.) Place each piece on a slightly grease, or you can parchment paper, cookie sheet.

5.) Place in oven and cook for 12-15 minutes.

6.) Let cool and add icing as desired.

This turned out great, Ronnie loved them and so did I. The only real problem was that they were gone to soon. Also you can use any jam you want, I just choose the raspberry because its slightly bitter taste complimenting the sweetness on the cinnamon rolls.

What is your favorite breakfast treat?
