Happy Super Bowl Sunday!
Big plans for the day? I’m just going do my normal Sunday routine which is, want to exercise, but don’t, watch Hungry Girl at 10 even though she is annoying & geeky, bake, cook and prep for the week. Of course snacks for the Super Bowl and I’ll relax during the half time show, this year I heard it’s Madonna. Should be interesting. Are you watching the big game? Any parties?
Saturday we celebrated Jenny’s birthday, even though it really isn’t until Tuesday. We started off the morning with these.
Then we got pedicures, went to lunch at this wonderful bakery that has the best breads, desserts, soups and salads. I was a good girl and had a fruit salad with grilled chicken. They serve it with a side of the most soft raisin cinnamon bread. It’s so good! I haven’t tried making cinnamon raisin bread, but I may change that tomorrow! I always forget how much I love that bread until I have it!
Then I came home and made special cupcakes, recipe will come later this week, and then we went to dinner to a Hibachi Grill. I over did it, and over did it big time. But I was good I only ate a couple bites of my fried rice. They didn’t have brown rice, stinky, but they said it’s always requested so there getting it in, in a couple of weeks. I also had hibachi vegetable, shrimp and chicken. I want a Hibachi Grill in my kitchen, how fun would that be? Oh Husband, you know what on want for Valentine’s day? A kitchen makeover with a built-in Hibachi Grill. Ok, I’m dreaming on that one!
I bet your wondering about these pancakes. These were a fun SWEET birthday pancake. I’m not kidding their sweet, yet pretty low-calorie, shocking I know! There is no need for syrup with them. They really do taste like cake. I made them with Funfetti Cake Mix and my traditional yogurt pancakes.
I only used a 1/4 cup of cake mix and I can’t believe how much they really taste like cake, I’m still shocked. If you like sweet treats in the morning then these pancakes are for you. I got 10 pancakes out of the whole batch! That’s five pancakes each and guess what? Only 220 calories for FIVE of them. Unbelievable! I have a feeling these will be a birthday tradition around here. I wonder if someone would make them for my birthday?
Birthday Pancakes
Ingredients:
3/4 cup Greek Yogurt or a 6oz container (I used Chobani Yogurt)
1/2 cup Egg whites
1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup Pillsbury Funfetti Cake Mix (your favorite cake mix should work)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp. powdered sugar
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:
Mix Greek Yogurt, Egg Whites & Vanilla Extract into a small bowl
In a separate bowl combine Flour, Cake Mix, Baking Soda, Sugar & Salt
Combine and whisk till evenly mixed
Spray your skillet with cooking spray. I do this between every batch.
Place 1/4-cup batter onto non-stick skillet, add some sprinkles on top of the batter and cook till bubbles start appearing through the top of the pancake and then flip. NOTE: Cook on medium heat and I flattened out my batter with the spatula to cook more evenly.
About 2 minutes on each side
Make glaze add powdered sugar, vanilla extract and water and mix until a slightly drippy consistency. NOTE: You do not need a lot of the glaze.
Evenly pour glaze over top of pancakes, add more sprinkles, whip cream and a candle! Happy Birthday!

Hm, I’m not sure I could eat those for breakfast but definitely for any other time of day! I’m carrying on with my regular Sunday schedule despite the Super Bowl too 🙂
My birthday is in a few weeks and I fully intend on overdoing it. Big time.
These pancakes seem like the perfect way to start the day! And I love even more that I could eat them on a normal day and not feel totally guilty about it.
Cake mix pancakes with yogurt in them? Love!
Ooo, I made Funfetti pancakes last year but I would love to do it again with Greek yogurt in the mix! Good call!!
Funfetti pancakes are so good and there cute! I’m a sucker for anything with sprinkles.
