Peach Cobbler Pancakes

Has anyone else noticed that peaches have been fantastic this summer? Their sweet smell has completely overtaken the produce section of my local grocery store, and I find myself filling my basket with them every week — they’re soft and juicy and perfect. I’d almost go as far as to say that the great peach season makes up for the less than stellar showing that strawberries had earlier this year.

Needless to say, when General Mills asked me to develop a recipe that would “make something good, better” using Land O’Lakes’ new Cinnamon Sugar Butter Spread, it didn’t take me long to decide on a creation that featured fresh peaches. At first I considered making a peach cobbler, a staple of summertime cookouts and a dish that’s perfect for sharing with friends, but then I thought that if there’s anything better than peach cobbler, it’s peach cobbler that you can eat for breakfast. These fluffy whole wheat pancakes layered with stewed cinnamon sugar peaches capture all the flavor of the favorite summertime dessert and repackage it as perfect breakfast treat.

Before we get to the recipe, just take a look at that butter. How have they never thought of this before?! I’m pretty much obsessed with this stuff. A touch of oil blended in with the cream means that its always the perfect texture for spreading. I’ve been putting it on everything from toast to carrots to sweet potato latkes. I also think it would make a killer buttercream frosting. It’s a little pricey (about $2.30 for what ends up being the equivalent of a little less than two sticks of butter) but you can like them on Facebook or follow them on Twitter to be notified of available coupons and get more recipes.

Speaking of coupons, if you signup for the Land O’Lakes Rewards Plan you’ll get a coupon for 75 cents off — which thanks to Price Choppers new coupon doubling policy means you can get some of this cinnamon sugar goodness for about 80 cents. Sweet!
