Chocolate Chip Pomegranate Pancakes
I love this recipe for a special morning (I make my husband this on our anniversary). The perfect balance between the creamy smoothness of chocolate and the tart pop of fresh pomegranate seeds. Makes 10-12 pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Dash of salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips (never skimp on chocolate)
- 1 cup of pomegranate seeds
- Skylake Ranch Pomegranate Syrup
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Using a whisk or large fork, mix in the buttermilk and egg until well combined and smooth. Stir in the melted butter and chocolate chips.
- Heat non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour pancake batter onto hot griddle. When pancake is golden brown and bubbles start to come up, flip to cook other side. Keep warm in oven heated to 200 degrees.
- To serve: Place two or more pancakes on plate add Skylake Ranch Pomegranate Syrup and sprinkle with fresh pomegranate seeds.
Tip: You can add a few chocolate chips on the pancakes after you pour the batter on the pan. I like the chocolate chips in the batter because the chips seem to get creamier and don’t get burnt.
Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast With Pomegranate Syrup
I can’t get enough of the cream cheese and marshmallow mixture, so I thought, “How else could I use this awesome flavor mixture?” Well, why not for breakfast! Young and old will enjoy this sweet and creamy French Toast. Enjoy! Serves 4-6.
Ingredients:
- 6 oz. cream cheese
- 1/2 cup marshmallow cream
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 loaf French bread
- 4 eggs
- 1 c. whipping cream
- Nutmeg
- Skylake Ranch Pomegranate Syrup
Directions:
- Cream together cream cheese, vanilla and marshmallow cream.
- Slice French bread into 2 inch thick slices. Make slits in slices. Stuff bread with cream cheese mixture.
- Beat eggs, whipping cream and nutmeg. Dip stuffed bread into egg mixture coating thoroughly. Fry in melted butter until brown on both sides and egg is "set".
- Serve with Skylake Ranch Pomegranate Syrup over French toast.
Tip: I like to soak the bread a little longer in the egg mixture so when it is cooked the bread gets to be a more “custardy” texture.
