There were many different recipes that went through my mind when I was deciding what to make for our Valentine’s Day breakfast; I thought about something hearty, then something sweet, then savory and the options were definitely endless but I finally decided on something sweet…since it was for Valentine’s day! These pancakes were absolutely incredible; they were light and fluffy and the perfect breakfast to start out such a wonderful day. To top these wonderful pancakes I used whipped cream and a few chocolate chips, we usually wouldn’t top them with the extras like we did but since it was a special occasion we splurged. The pancakes themselves had a great flavor, the hint of cloves was awesome! This recipe definitely didn’t dissapoint and I’m sure we will be having them many more times! These would be soemthing fun to make for a weekend breakfast, and with the cloves added to the batter it makes them feel like a special occasion meal!
