MAPLE, BACON, PANCAKE BITES
September 14, 2014 by Kelly

Maple, Bacon, Pancake Bites!!! Oh yes…. you read that right I said maple. I also said bacon. Put together into the perfect breakfast pancake bite. I went to bed the other night, thinking of what I wanted to do with the kiddos this weekend. The last time I took them to Pike’s Place Market they had a blast and have wanted to go back to ride the ferris wheel. Then it reminded me of the doughnuts we love so much at the Market. They are mini doughnuts made right in front of you, and you can buy them by the half or full dozen. My absolute favorite ones are the maple glazed doughnut dipped in chopped bacon. OH MY WORD they are heavenly! So the idea for this breakfast was born! I decided to give it a go… but instead of doughnuts, I decided to make pancake bites. This was the result…. They were so delicious! And they didn’t last long either. The kids gobbled them up like little piggies… oink, oink
