If you love a good Cannoli, then you will love these easy Cannoli Pancakes! Deliciously decadent but easy breakfast idea to bring big smiles!
So the other day I had some Cannoli filling left over from some other recipes I was working on. I started thinking of ways I could use it – I certainly couldn’t let it go to waste.
Then it hit me. One thing I do almost as good as dessert is an over the top breakfast idea.
Probably because I firmly believe that a breakfast that can rival the best dessert is a great way to start the day. That’s when I decided that the cannoli filling would be fabulous in Cannoli pancakes. I was sooooo right!
Oh boy. The hubs was sure happy that he was home on the day I made these. Usually he’s missing when it comes to deciding who’s going to get to eat some of the things I make.
The kids luck out most of the time. But on this day – he & I split this stack of delicious pancakes. I was in heaven. He looked at me & said “it’s a good thing I usually miss recipes like these around here”.
That’s probably true – because we would make certain things a lot more frequently if he were able to try them. 🙂 But in this case – these are the perfect easy breakfast recipe to make for the most special of guests & definitely for special occasions or holidays. I can’t wait to make them again.
What special occasion would you make these for?
