There are things in life you think will never let you down and when they do, it’s so much more disappointing. Unfortunately, this is me with any sort of technology 99% of the time. You get something brand new and shiny and think “We’ll be BFFs until I’m sick of you and choose to replace you”, but they always turn on me first. I’ve especially had terrible luck with phones – I drop them, kitties chew on them, I accidentally set them in a glass of wine. Happens. Right? But I was determined to never let it happen to me again and have kept my phone in pristine, beautiful condition.
Until today. Out of no where, my precious baby decided to go the way of a brick and just turned off, full battery and everything, never to turn on again. I’m six months away from my contract being up, so I spent many, many hours in the Verizon store. If anything, I had something in my life I could truly, really rely on to turn to in these dark times. Enter: Pancakes.
Pancakes are always amazing, always trustworthy, and always adaptable to any situation. My local grocery store had raspberries on ridiculous sale, so I may have bought like 10 quarts. Okay. I did buy 10 quarts. My trusty chia seed pancakes were there for me in my time of need, and I know they’ll be there in the future. The base recipe I used here is my overall 2nd most popular recipe (#1 is my cheesecake rangoons) and I’m constantly hearing how much people love them. No surprise, I love them too and they’re Josh’s favorite ever.

[…] 5 pm, 9 pm, or 2 am, but rest assured, I definitely have and do. It’s how I end up with so many pancake recipes. I guess I was just looking for something different in my life, something that […]
Pancakes always seem to make life better. Especially fruity pancakes!
UGH to the phone woes. I’ve been there and it’s NOT fun.
Sorry to hear about your phone! But what your phone doesn’t have is a kind loving heart like these pancakes do! Looks delicious!
Ooooh, those look so good! I just posted a raspberry pancake recipe last week. We got to get in our raspberry treats as much as possible now, right? Fall is just around the corner. 🙂 These look delicious!
What a delicious sounding pancake Kelly!!
I love the photo with the syrup dripping down. I have seen lots of raspberries in the stores – I will have to try these.
Let me know what you think! I’m pretty powerless against any photo that has syrup dripping down the side, too — something about it just makes everything look so crazy delicious.
These pancakes sound awesome! I’m sorry to hear about your phone though.
Thanks, Nicole. Pancakes will always get me through the toughest of technology issues 😉
These sound amazing and SO easy to make…my kind of recipe. Do you know if milled chia seeds would work just as well?
I’ve honestly never worked with mill chia seeds — do they gel up like whole seeds? The batter essentially develops “chia eggs” when you let it rest for a few minutes. 1 tbsp is used to make one chia egg (in combination with the milk), so I’d say you want to adjustt the actual amount of milled chia to whatever the Google-machine suggests for a milled chia seed egg.
Yum! I love a pretty stack of pancakes. Beautiful and so reliable. 🙂
That’s so funny that your cats chew on your phone! My dog doesn’t even do that.
Peter will chew on anything that I’m holding on to, especially if it’s metal or plastic. His favorites are phones and the corners of laptops — I think I just have a naughty kitty!
Oh my goodness! These pancakes look amazing. I love chia seeds and I especially love incorporating them into anything and everything imaginable.
Man, I wish my grocery store would put raspberries on sale! They are always so pricey.
I hope you have better luck with your new phone! 🙂
Pinning these gorgeous pancakes. <3
I think they just don’t know how much produce to order… a couple times a year they’ll have a random item be ridiculous cheap. I bought quarts of strawberries for $0.15 each this time last year — it was glorious! Thanks, Abbie.
I’m totally intrigued by the chia seed and raspberry combo!
I have all the ingredients for these at home – they just might HAVE TO BE DINNER TONIGHT!!! OMG pancakes make everything better! Recipe looks delicious – love that chia seeds are involved. Good luck with your phone!
thanks, Em! I wish I had discovered chia seeds much earlier in life. They someone make pancakes even more amazing
Sorry to hear about your phone! That happened to me, but I was lucky because it was the day before the iPhone 5 came out.
Raspberries are one of the few berries that I love. Actually, I love all berries except blueberries.
These pancakes look ahhh-mazing!
That’s pretty good timing! Thanks Tara
