    Pancake Roll-Ups

    Soft and fluffy crepe-like pancake roll-ups with butter and powdered sugar. Dip them in Nutella or syrup! They're a great finger food to serve for breakfast or brunch.

    Whoaaa-ho-hooo this is what my brunch dreams are made of.

    Brunch is my favorite meal of the day. Mostly because it means you likely got to sleep in. And because coffee, mimosas, pizza and pancakes are all served at the same time.

    It's been a long time since pancakes made an appearance on my brunch slash breakfast menu.  Pancakes are one of my childhood favorites. Because I was OBSESSED with syrup. I used to eat syrup out of the bottle before Elf made it cool.

    Whyyy have I not made them recently? For a couple of reasons, I think. Reason #1 I'm lazy. Reason #2 I've been eating healthy. And reason #3: I've been stuck on a chocolate peanut butter protein shake and sometimes it's difficult to think outside the chocolate, peanut butter, healthy, milkshake-like breakfast box, okay?

    But it wasn't long before my syrup-calling came back and I was filling, stacking (and in this case, rolling) them back onto my morning menu.

    So let's get down to the basics of these pancake roll-ups. It's essentially your favorite pancake batter, with double the milk to create a thinner consistency. Then you pour them into a frying pan and swirl it around until it covers the bottom of the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, flip and cook for another minute or so until they turn golden brown.

    Then you spread them with butter, dust some powdered sugar and roll them up. All you've got to do is dunk and enjoy!

    But as I was making these I started thinking about all the wonderful, amazing fillings I could stuff in these. Nutella, blueberries, cinnamon sugar, strawberries and mascarpone. The list is endless. Which is why I've decided I'm going to host a brunch and create a pancake roll-up bar.

    I can imagine it now: stacks of thin crepe-like pancakes, bowls of fruit and chocolate and warm syrup ready for dunking.

    Mimosa bar: not included, but mandatory.  Stay tuned on how that turns out, though I'm sure it will be fantastic.

    Go forth and roll, my fellow brunch lovers!
