Cinnamon Streusel Pancakes

In one of my latest posts, Almond Joy Baked Oatmeal, I promised to feature more healthy and nutritious dessert recipes, so this afternoon I tried making a paleo pumpkin cookie recipe. Fortunately, they were wheat and dairy free; unfortunately, you could definitely tell. And because nothing is more disappointing that a less than tasty dessert, I had to try these cinnamon streusel pancakes to uplift my dejected taste buds.

Caramel Crepes (Panqueques con Dulce de Leche)

Happy New Year! I wanted to start the new year off right with my favorite meal: breakfast! I thought  crepes would be absolutely perfect because I loved making the Nutella Crepes and because my family had some dulce de leche left in the fridge, which I wanted to use before my dad finished the whole can! When he was a kid, one of his favorite desserts in Argentina was “panqueques con dulce de leche”, or caramel-filled crepes.

It’s Winter Break!!!! Yay! (Now finals will no longer mandate my 2-week break from posting recipes!) I don’t know what’s more exciting: 1) that I’m on vacation or 2) that yesterday was the first time I tried Nutella! My friend Gemma swears by this delicious chocolate topping as she eats it from the jar in spoonfuls, but for some reason I’ve never tasted it before…a surprise, considering my dessert obsession!

If I could, I would eat breakfast for every meal! I would also live in the kitchen and bake all day…as long as I wouldn’t have to wash the dishes! My mom and I actually have a deal that if I bake, she will clean up, granted that she gets the first bite of whatever dessert is in the oven! Last Sunday it rained again, so instead of going for my usual morning workout, I stayed at home and made pancakes for my family, an unexpected treat for them because I never give up my cherished weekend workouts!
