\"Soft<\/p>\n

This back-to-school season is extra special for us this year, because we are sending our first off to kindergarten! We’ve bought the crayons, notebooks, and pencil boxes. She’s got more new outfits than I can hang in her closet. And we’ve practiced the route to school in rush hour traffic.<\/p>\n

We are\u00a0so<\/em> ready for this.<\/p>\n

Actually,\u00a0she<\/em> is so ready for this. Honestly, I amm terrified.<\/p>\n

I’m not nervous for the all-day separation. And I’m not feeling overly-nostalgic about my baby growing up and leaving me\u00a0(I’ve got an actual newborn on my hands keeping my busy these days). What I\u00a0am<\/em> worried about… is what she is going to learn from 20 other 5 year old kids!<\/p>\n

Just from her time at the pool this summer, my sweet baby girl has learned words like “fart” and “poopy head.” And she has started to call other kids “cheater” and saying, “but that’s not faaaaaaaiiirrrrrrr!”<\/p>\n

So. You know. Not so sweet.<\/p>\n

\"Soft<\/p>\n

These pancakes, on the other hand, are totally sweet! And pretty good for you too. They are filled with wholesome grains, and low-calorie\/high-calcium Silk Vanilla Cashew Milk.<\/p>\n

The best part about these pancakes? How fluffy they are. I’ve found that whole wheat pancakes are usually tough and dense, but not these! This recipe is a healthier twist on my favorite buttermilk pancake recipe. And normally I’m a real stickler for\u00a0only using buttermilk<\/em> in a buttermilk pancake recipe to make sure they turn out fluffy. But this new Silk Cashew Milk is so thick and creamy, I decided to make the substitution and see how it held up in the recipe… they turned out perfect!<\/p>\n

These pancakes are so soft and fluffy, and they make a great start to the school day. My daughter is all about eating pancakes (aren’t we all?!), and I know I can feel good about making these for her. And since they’re dairy free (a recent change I’ve had to make in my diet thanks to nursing), I can enjoy them too!<\/p>\n

Silk Cashew Milk just released two new flavors: vanilla and chocolate!\u00a0Be on the look out for them to make an appearance in your grocery store, and then grab a carton of the vanilla for this recipe! I decided to amp up the vanilla in these pancakes even more by also using vanilla bean paste instead of extract, but you can certainly use normal vanilla extract and any of the Silk dairy-free alternatives.<\/p>\n
