Saturday Morning Pancakes

What’s your go-to weekend breakfast?

Photo by author

Golden-brown circles drenched in syrupy goodness

With melted chocolate chips spread between the layers,

When sliced into triangles reveal chocolate rivers

This is a sweet weekend craving I always possess

A weekly pancake routine that’s always delicious

It rarely ever allows for any leftovers

Because this fluffy recipe needs no repairs

And fills my heart and tummy with happiness

On occasion, other ingredients are thrown in the mix

Blueberries, bananas, sprinkles, and nuts are always welcome

Whatever will satisfy the dessert for a breakfast fix

Covered in jelly or whipped cream, nothing is too random

Just embrace whatever toppings your inner child picks

Pair it with your daily cuppa for the perfect twosome
