oatmeal pecan pancakes with apple bourbon butter

Is there anything that screams “weekend” more than pancakes? Probably not. My Saturdays are consumed with farmer’s market activities and baking, for the most part.

Happy belated Fourth of July! I hope this post finds you lacking in the hangover department.

Spiced Mango Blueberry Jam
