Mini Puffed Pancakes with Cinnamon & Brown Sugar Sauce (& a #Giveaway!)

We have been trying out Gay Lea's Cinnamon & Brown Sugar Spreadables this month and experimenting with using it in different recipes and with different snack ideas. I would typically use something like this by just spreading it on toast (which tastes amazing) but for my post around this product, I wanted to think of a recipe to use it with.

I have tried it melted & drizzled on popcorn (delicious.. but a bit messy.. I ended up eating it with a spoon), I have tried it on toast (tried & true method and the easiest, quickest way to eat it), and I have thought of other ways to use it like baking apples with the spread on them.  I have also watched some fellow bloggers post about recipes they've added it to (such as frosting or crumble on top of a fruity dessert). These spreadables combine creamery butter with unsaturated canola oil to make them spreadable on any food, right from the fridge, but also fabulous melted or incorporated into baking.

What I finally came up with was to use it as a melted sauce on top of mini puffed pancakes and let me tell you, I know something's a winner when I can't even start to type out the blog post or edit the photos for it without salivating! :)  We LOVED this and I think you'll want to give it a try!

Here's what you'll need:


3/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
a pinch of salt
GayLea Cinnamon & Brown Sugar Spreadables
Icing Sugar
Cooking Spray

Mini Muffin Pan
Blender

Instructions:

1. Put your mini muffin pan in the oven at 400 degrees F.

2. Blend milk, eggs, flour, and salt.

3.  Remove pan from oven (learn from my mistakes & don't take the oven mitts off!) and spray (generously) with cooking spray.

4. Pour pancake mixture into pan (fill 3/4 full)

5. Bake until puffed and just barely starting to look golden (10ish minutes)

6. Remove from oven and remove pancakes from pan.

7. Melt some of the Cinnamon & Brown Sugar Spreadable (maybe a 1/4 cup or so.. depending on how much you want) in the microwave in a small bowl for a few seconds.

8. Stir your 'sauce' and drizzle on your pancakes.

9. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top, and DIG IN!!

Now, do not walk... RUN to your car and get yourself some of this stuff, then get in your kitchen and start whipping these babies up because you will LOVE them! (I'm going to make them again for lunch because my mouth will not stop watering!)
