APARTMENT LIVING

With fall slowly setting in and pumpkin spice goodies flanking stores and coffee shops everywhere, it’s the time of year for cooking on those long weekends. Your Mountlake Terrace apartment is equipped with a state-of-the-art kitchen for whipping up the perfect weekend brunch, like delicious pancakes where you’ll want to make extras for the rest of the week. Here are three of our favorite pancake recipes you have to try.

1. S’MORES PANCAKES

S’mores, the classic summer campfire treat made with graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows that most of us enjoyed as children, are experiencing a resurgence. S’mores are showing up in everything from coffee and cocktails to gourmet cupcakes. Why not pancakes too? With plenty of graham cracker and chocolate flavors, marshmallow fluff easily heats up to make the sauce that completes these decadent pancakes which take a classic childhood treat to the next level.

2. OREO COOKIE PANCAKES

Surprisingly, these pancakes don’t actually use Oreos and are vegan (with the option to go gluten-free). With cookie-inspired pancakes being all the rage lately at restaurants, you can cook up these Oreo pancakes at home. Furthermore, these Oreo pancakes would go great with both the coconut-vanilla filling recipe included or store-bought vanilla frosting should also do the trick. Top-notch cocoa or cacao powder will make these unique pancakes your go-to breakfast treat that will make the original blue-packaged cookies pale in comparison.

3. PANCAKE POPPERS

Did you never quite get the hang of flipping pancakes but want that soft texture you don’t get with waffles? With pancake poppers, all you need is a muffin pan! It’s only an added bonus that this bite-sized portable form of pancakes can be easily stored and frozen to have throughout the week, and dip easily in maple syrup. Throw in some chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit to get that perfect pancake taste and feel without the difficulty of flipping and shaping pancakes on the griddle.
