My daughters adored the title of this recipe so that is one of the reasons I made this recipe. I was also craving something with pecans. These worked out well for our morning breakfast. I subbed 1/3 of the flour for whole wheat. I only used half the sugar/honey and used coconut oil. I thought 2 tablespoons of baking powder was overkill and used only half. I only used a little over half the milk either...and I am glad because the batter was almost too thin. But the pancakes tasted great!. Loved the nuttiness. We will make them again for sure. Also, I skipped the honey and raspberry topping. I kinda thought the kids would pass on it and it was one extra thing to do when serving it with a bottle of maple syrup was so quick. Thanks for sharing! Made for my Babes for ZWT4.

I will often rate something I like a lot 4 stars and then if I find myself thinking about what it was I ate or making it again and again, bumping it up to 5. I made these pancakes yesterday morning and my DH and I were debating 4 & 5 stars, looked like a 4, but as I started to make breakfast this morning, without really thinking about it I said " I sure could use some more of those pecan pancakes" - 5 STARS! I used half white and half whole wheat pastry flour which really compliments the pecans, bumped up the cinnamon and added vanilla extract. My milk was a mixture of non-fat and 1/2 & 1/2. We had eaten our first few when I realized I hadn't added the oil! They tasted fine without it and they didn't stick - so I guess with as thin as they are the fat from the milk was all they needed. This batter is very thinn but that was ok, you just have to stir before you pour, because the nuts sink. DH had his with sugarfree maple syrup. I mixed honey and jam into some soft butter until I got a flavor balance I like and added a little bit of fresh lemon juice which kept the flavor bright but took the edge off the sweetness. Thank you Sarah_Jayne for posting this wonderful recipe. Reviewed by a Chic Chef for ZWT 4 Family Picks

Really excellent - nicely spiced and a surprising crunch and nuttiness from the pecans. The batter is on the thin side but I just added 1/2 cup more flour and that was fine with the amount of baking powder. I enjoyed the hot honey/raspberry preserves mixture, my kids went for maple syrup.

Great Pancakes! I thought maybe I did something wrong since the intro says the batter is a "thinner type of batter," but I checked and double checked and I added everything right. My batter about doubled in size and was thick and airy. The result was beautifully fluffy pancakes. The raspberry flavored honey was interestingly good. The six year old added syrup to his, but I liked mine with just the honey sauce. Great Recipe Chef! Good Luck!
