I really wanted a good brunch yesterday but, since I knew I had baking plans for later in the day, I didn't want to make something with coconut. I can only handle so much coconut and my body gets really unhappy when I over eat. So, we did something simple: yummy sausage, baked (delicious) sweet potatoes, and cauliflower. Really good, but not quite the indulgent breakfast I wanted. I wanted something truly worthy of maple syrup. Tonight my husband and I were both pretty pooped and couldn't bring ourselves to make dinner. So, we waited until 6:30 and went to the store to grab plantains, dates, grade b maple syrup, and uncured bacon. We came home, got the kids to bed, and had a feast!
After my baking shenanegans yesterday I was more than happy to just follow a recipe (I hope to have my recipes ready for you soon!). We made bacon-wapped dates (based on
this recipe, but we just pitted the dates, wrapped in bacon and baked as recommended) and
plantain pancakes. They were beyond phenomenal. Seriously, just try it.
Mouthwatering, huh? I went back for seconds and thirds on the pancakes. Luckily, the bacon-wrapped dates are more of a delicacy which meant I only needed a few to be satisfied. Now I can look forward to eating them as a grab and go snack. I hope the leftover pancakes will fall in that category, too.
