Who’s a fan of quick and easy?!
Me me meee!!
And probably you too, because everyone’s so darn busy these days.
Sigh.
As much as I’d like to spend 3+ hours cooking up a storm, that craziness only happens every once in a while.
Because life, you know?
(And dirty dishes–I’m quite talented in the area of epic kitchen messes, yikes.)
I’m a huge fan of fluffy homemade pancakes, which really don’t take that much time to whip up, but polenta pancakes are much easier and also drool-worthy.
Sweet over savor breakfasts forever and ever, by the way.
These pancakes are only 6 ingredients (including the tasty toppings!), plus they take about 7 minutes max to make, so clearly I’m not joking about the whole quick and easy deal.
Andddd they’re healthy, obviously.
There’s protein and fresh fruit involved, not to mention these guys are vegan and gluten-free.
Whoopie for everyone!
Well, almost everyone.
Can’t please em all.
Anyway.
All you have to do is fry up slices of tender polenta in a bit of tropical coconut oil, then top those suckers with creamy almond butter, juicy plump blueberries, and cinnamony pure maple syrup!
Breakfast for dinner is happening tonight.
P.S. Make sure to buy a tube of polenta that isn’t flavored… garlic pancakes with maple syrup = no thank you.
P.P.S. You can certainly whip up your own polenta if you do have the time, patience, and the know-how.
P.P.P.S. I saw these beautiful Sweet Buttered Polenta Pancakes with Fresh Summer Berries over on Half Baked Harvest and had to make my own version. Because they look amazing, obviously.
We tried polenta for the first time with this recipe. Due to my nut allergy, we used sunflower butter. I’m not a fan of maple syrup, so we used agave & cinnamon. We split the topping amount between 2 servings (using the entire polenta package). They were delicious! And very filling.
Your version sounds really good! So glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
