Chocolate Chip Pancakes with Cinnamon Cream


I've been off all week.  

I mean I can't seem to keep track of what day it is.  On Wednesday I thought it was Tuesday.  To my surprise I found out it was Wednesday.  Then on Thursday I thought it was Friday.  It really, really felt like Friday. (Wishful thinking...hmm)

If that wasn't bad enough I was trying to plan a birthday lunch and kept saying that her birthday was a week from Sunday and that was the 22nd.  Which is actually this Sunday!  OMG! I thought we were a week behind and it was last week. 

 
What the heck?

So since I'm all mixed up I thought I would bring you a breakfast post that I was saving for this weekend...but I may forget what day it is!  So to be on the safe side I'll post it now and you can make them this weekend! 

This wonderful recipe for Chocolate Chip Pancakes is topped with a Cinnamon Cream.  I found this filed under my 'to make' Pinterest file and is by Paula Deen. (love her!)  It may sound like dessert, but isn't overly sweet and we just loved them for breakfast.


Enjoy them this weekend...it is almost the weekend isn't it?

Turn and cook the other side. Repeat procedure with remaining 2 tablespoons butter and remaining batter.
