Sometimes life can throw you some sneaky punches, making you feel a bit melancholy. No matter your worries, often you just need to step back and take stock of the simple pleasures that make life so delicious. Hanging out in your jammies, building forts with blankets and pillows, eating pancakes and alliteration.
Yes, alliteration.
Like these Fluffy Fruited Flapjacks.
Ok, they’re actually Fluffy Fruited Pancakes, but I think Fluffy Fruited Flapjacks sounds much more Fun (get it, another “F”).
These really were amazingly fluffy – like crazy fluffy. But in a good way. Today we rocked them up with some banana goodness, but any fruit would make them smashingly good. I’m just sure of it. We also go to enjoy some real, authentic Canadian Maple Syrup hand delivered with love by our friend Kimianak. You really can taste the “special delivery” difference. Trust me.
I think my Sweet Freedom Saturday posts will grow more infrequent as I continue reveling in the summer sun and enjoy being outside and not being in the kitchen as much as possible, but I’m sure they’ll be a few SF posts between now and September!
Have you made anything yummy from Sweet Freedom this week ? Stay tuned for future Saturday installments of “Sweet Freedom Saturdays”. We’ve also got a Sweet Freedom Flickr Group – come join us!

Mmm, pancakes–one of my favorite breakfasts! The banana version sounds yummy, too. Hope you take advantage of the sunshine lots this summer and get out and play!
I love your SFS posts! I’m working through enough recipes to post a review of Sweet Freedom soon, and it’s nice to see what others have been making for inspiration
They do look like the fluffiest pancakes ever!
Fluffy pancakes are exactly what I need. And also the cookbook – but that’s on order!
Next time, I’ll do the special delivery on a Saturday morning! Especially if your yummy pancakes are part of the deal – I’ll be happy to provide the maple syrup! I’m glad you’re enjoying it.
Keep having fun in the summer sun. And could you please give a hug and a kiss to Guppy for me? I miss your fishbowl!
We do pancakes every weekend religiously. We always use mashed banana in ours, they are sweet, but not too sweet and always moist and squishy – yum!!
banana pancakes was one of my favourites when i was a kid! enjoy your time outside missy!
i love fluffy
and you make me feel so guilty for having this book and not yet tried a recipe 
have to go stock up on some new flours…
Yum pancakes and yes life has been delivering me some punches lately and I can so see how these fabulous flapjacks would come to the rescue and make me feel all warm and fuzzy! Gorgeous and thick and fluffy! Wow!
I like the alliteration! Yes, that does sound better. Especially with the authentic syrup…YUM

Damn they look so good!

YeeeHah!
GOD! Meant to put Flapjacks and NOT Pancakes!!!
DOH!
Those look awesome! Hooray for simple pleasures, for sure. Mmmm those pancakes are so fluffy and beautiful, what a gorgeous treat.
Those look just perfect! They’d always brighten my day.
You had me at fort!
dangit… that’s what my weekend was missing!
Pancakes are my all-time fave. Hands down. Can’t wait to try this!
Can it be the weekend again? I missed out on making pancakes this time around and those look so darn good!
It seems like it’s been ages since I’ve had a stack of nice, fluffy pancakes (unless you count the flat hockey pucks at the rehab facility..lol), so when I saw yours, I knew I had to have one soon, but with uhhh…(I can feel you shaking your head and saying tsk tsk) sausage and bacon dipped in the syrup! *Hiding* Ok ok, I need to check out this book, but I doubt mine would come out as beautiful as yours!
I eat more pancakes now that I am a vegan. Yes go out and enjoy the summer. I will do the same thing even if it is summer everyday here lol. I do like 3 post a week and sometimes schedule them and I make enough for leftovers.
Oh man, fluffy flapjacks AND fruit?! yum!
