I’m not a huge coffee drinker.
Morning energy is key though.
Since having my morning cocktail everyday, I’ve simply not craved coffee. Combine that with my mental block for some reason I think coffee takes far too much effort to make (yet I will spend time making breakfasts like this… no logic, I know), and I rarely make coffee.
Anyway, I decided to make coffee on Monday morning (I was still dragging from the post-Blend excitement!). when I do prepare coffee, I always make extra to have during the week. With my leftover coffee, I make things like Tiramisu parfaits and pancakes!
This pancake creation hit all the high points when it come to breakfast: it is possible to have your bacon, eggs, and coffee all in one bite!
It may be a little strange. It definitely is a lot good! We all know how I like my waffles at Waffle House. That may not be the healthiest way to eat breakfast, but this creation is one you can feel good about.
Fluffy, protein-rich cakes made silky with coconut flour. These were laced with mocha coffee goodness and filled with blueberries that burst in your mouth. Their syrup is a delicious egg yolk that pops with flavorful bite of bacon sprinkles. Breakfast porn at its best!
Coffee Pancakes
- 2 T raw oatmeal
- 1 T coconut flour
- 1/2 scoop (10g) protein powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp no-salt baking powder
- 2 T egg whites
- 1/4 cup brewed coffee (I used a mocha flavor)
- 1/4 tsp maple extract
- 6-8 drops vanilla liquid stevia
- Optional: blueberries, runny egg, bacon sprinkles
In a small bowl, stir together dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and stir to combine.
Heat pan over med-high, spoon batter onto pan, and cook until done (~3-4 mins each side). Add blueberries half way through, if using.
While your pancakes are cooking, prepare your toppings. I amped up the #strangebutgood with a runny egg and bacon “sprinkles.” The egg rocks because the yolk becomes your pancake syrup!

I am look forward to an amazing long, relaxing weekend with friends... and my new CAT!!! Lucy is picture shy as she acclimates, but stay tuned...
What are you looking forward to this long weekend?
What's your favorite way to enjoy yolk porn? 😉
Coffee pancakes sound pretty good, even if I don’t do the bacon/egg thing.
I’m looking forward to a weekend of running, housework, (it’s gotta be done) and an extra day off. Yay!
Oh man.. i’m all over this recipe!!!
I do believe even a Pig would eat this… Even though he/she would be eating his/her relative – Who cares. When food is good, all rules are thrown out the window!!! I would roll around in this recipe like a pig rolls around in the mud….. Pigs always look so happy when they do that, and I know i would be THRILLED to roll around in this!
Okay, let me stop before I get weird?
Wait. Don’t pigs eay anything?
Shhhhhh!!!! Technicality!
LOVE the coffee, maple extract and runny yolk! Some of my favorite things!
Awwwww, your cat’s name is LUCY??? I already love her!! 🙂
And that pancake – oh yumm! I am all about pancakes, I don’t give a … if they are strange as long as they are goooood.
I am looking forward to a dinner in a greek restaurant tonight and 2 full days of no plans.
Are you guys related? 😉
Hope you had a nice, relaxing weekend!
You don’t like coffee??? Say it ain’t so ;)!! Call me boring but my favorite way to eat runny eggs is on lightly buttered toast- simply perfect! Although topping pancakes or waffles with a runny egg sounds rather baller too!
I do like it! I just don’t crave it, so I’m too lazy to make it. 🙂
I have never had an egg on my pancake…I think I might need to try that asap!
This sounds really good, Laura! I don’t make pancakes often, but coffee flavored…that could just make me give them a try!! Love the idea of the runny egg on top…have to be careful of that in NJ. Long story, the Governor once tried to outlaw runny eggs in restaurants because of possible salmonella or one of those dread bacterias….only in NJ!!! Have a great day!!
I rarely have leftover coffee — I drink every drop! I do love pancakes though!
I’ll share mine with you. 😉
bacon, eggs, & coffee pancakes?!?! ok this may be the strangest #strangebutgood recipe yet!!! 🙂
Ohhhh… that’s some serious pressure to top it… 😉
Love how you added coffee to it! Great looking recipe! Creative as per usual 🙂
YUM!! And I love a running yoke for “syrup.” Have a great weekend and can’t wait to see your cute cat!
Didn’t you try to potty train a cat once?! Are you going to do that again? I wish Murphy could use the toilet…especially at 3 am. I digress.
I’m going to Brew at the Zoo this weekend. I’ve never been to the zoo.
Yeah… and no! LOL! This cat is 9. I think she’s set in her ways.
There are SO many recipes using coconut flour and I have yet to break down and buy some… I think it’s time! I love all your SBG creations 🙂
Oh, you should! It’s such a fun texture in baked goods, but it’s also really good just mixed into yogurt. 🙂
yes, yes, yes. that pancake looks supremely good.
um, also, are you becoming one of those crazy cat ladies??
I was informed I had to have more cats than people to be a crazy cat lady. So no. Not yet, anyway.
I’m just saying…this looks normal to me.
We should have a foodie freak-off.
Seriously. A secret, super ordinary ingredient…and then see who can use it in the strangest way…
The post I had written for today included my TVP (Breakfast) Sausage Crumbles…in pancakes. But then I decided to save it for next week when I will be traveling…so don’t hate me for skipping out on Strange But Good AGAIN this week. [At least you know I’m living Strange But Good constantly. Although I am now referring to it as Strange but AWESOME. ;)]
Sarah. Have I ever made anything you think it strange? I think we were separated at birth. Or at least our strange tastes were. 😉
I just got a waffle maker — do you think I could pour this batter in that and make a waffle?
I have never actually made waffles… but maybe! 🙂
Whoa!
Fold that sucker up taco style and it’s like a portable sit-down breakfast!
SnazzFest! Jazz Fingers!
PS- OMG that waffle idea… LOL. Sounds delish.
Jazz fingers. I love it!!! 😉
I always keep some Starbuck’s Via’s on hand. When the need strikes (i.e. staying out too late the night before), I add the packet to my morning protein oatbran along with a touch of vanilla stevia. So good!
Coffee pancakes and a new kitten?! Definitely the start of a good weekend. I’m actually looking forward to the rain that we’re supposed to be getting this weekend. I know it sounds completely backwards, but I’m really craving a good storm.
I LOVE storms! This is probably crazy, but I like to go sit outside on the poarch and watch them.
I would totally eat a coffee pancake with bacon and eggs. I’ve actually just gotten back into drinking coffee this year after many years off the sauce. It’s one of my biggest cravings right now and I’ve found myself buying coffee-flavored everything. The Adonia espresso flavored frozen greek yogurt is incredible.
so I have never tried the whole eggs and carb thing but I am totally intrigued by this
Really?! I think whole eggs need a carb to catch the yolky goodness. 🙂
I am so looking forward to our first day hike this weekend! Weather is calling for the highest temp for the month & I have new hiking shoes to try out, foodie goodies to make to take along & some new recipes to try (thank you all my fav bloggers who have made good new things this week!)
And the only way I enjoy yolk porn is in other people’s food photos! I don’t actually like yolks at all, I pick them out of hard boiled & such, I know- its weird! I love the color but I can’t eat them….
Enjoy your new furry friend & a long relaxing weekend 🙂
That sounds like os much fun!!! I hope you had a good one.
I can’t judge – I refuse to eat hardboiled eggs. 🙂
Laura,
My 82 yr old mom loved reading about your breakfast concoction. She was proofreading the chicken blueberry hummus pizza (inspired by Heather’s flatbread creation I saw HERE a few months ago) for me since I wrote it under the influence of hard cider and then published. I’m sharing it here because it’s a tasty combination, and I think different enough from Heather’s great inspiration to warrant its own inclusion in strange but good lore.
I’m also linking up another weird concoction. It’s kind of a Mexican chicken casserole, but I added lentils to the chicken thighs to boost the protein and fiber, then served the whole thing over salad greens. The spouse even scooped some up as a dip. Versatile, and used my CSA farm share salsa verde, corn, and leeks to boot.
Enjoy your relaxing weekend–I’ve just hosted my in-laws and my folks for the past week, and I’m ready to some ‘just me–and the kids’ time.
Thanks for hosting!
Awwww… that’s so awesome! Was she impressed with your pizza???
The bacon sprinkles totally take these pancakes to another level. I need them in my life. Add the egg and coffee, and it sounds like pure bliss. 😀
Have fun with your new cat this weekend! How exciting! xoxo
I love coffee! Coffee pancakes sound so good. I like adding espresso powder to cookies and cakes for extra rich chocolate an coffee flavor.
Same here! It’s amazing what a little coffee can do for a chocolate cake.
I like my yolk porn with a side of coffee and you did not disappoint. On the rare occasion you have coffee again, try sprinkling some cinnamon in with the grounds. It takes it to another level.
I always do that! Sometimes nutmeg as well. My mom adds a pinch of salt to cut the acidity too.
Coffee pancakes?! Why have I never thought of this?? I continued to be amazed by these posts every Friday.
Thank you so much!!!
I don’t like/drink coffee either….I have enough energy without it 😉 hehe.
<3
I 100% believe that!!! 🙂
You are SO darn creative!! I LOVE the idea of this. I can never say no to dippy eggs :).
OMG! Figures this would be on a day I was gone from the computer all day! I am all over this baby & I have all the ingredients!!!!! Well, not the maple extract but I have vanilla OR maple syrup.. 🙂 I have both coconut & vanilla coffee so… You are genius!!!!
I am leaving them plain cause that is the way I roll! 🙂
Awesome!!! I get so excited when I make something Jody-worthy. 🙂
PS: Happy long weekend & enjoy!!!!!!!
These pancakes actually sounds really great! I am a huge coffee drinker though 🙂
Thanks! I do like coffee… I’m just so lazy. LOL!
This looks so good! I’m not a fan of coffee, but for whatever reason I like it in baked goods or sweets…so I guess I like coffee as long as there’s copious amounts of fats and sugar involved?
Yolk porn on rice cakes and on oatmeal. Easily my favourites!
That sounds like how I drank coffee as a kid cream and sugar with a splash of coffee. 😉
Wow I am obsessed with coffee tasting food so these would be my mouth PORNO flick in the morning 🙂 I love sunny side up eggs with the yolk oozin and goozin! Have an amazing weekend 🙂 LOVE + SUNSHINE COurtStar
LOL! I flippin’ LOVE your comments. Thanks for making me smile on this Tuesday-that-feels-like-Monday. 🙂
Haha, you sold that bacon, egg, and coffee pancake! Made it sounds pretty tempting…
Yes!! BACON SPRINKLESSSSSSSSS!!! Though I am a little disappointed that the pancakes aren’t filled with chocolate chips…you totally had me going there after you mentioned your Awful Waffle! 😉 And dude, that is so not me dissing on Waffle House…I just like saying it! Lol
Sorry I missed out on the #SBG love last week…I have a really good one to share…carrot cake oats with a couple of “secret straaaaaaaaange ingredients? Oh yes, it’s coming…whenever I feel like blogging again that is! Ohhh, I’m such a tease! 😉
I know, I know… next time I’m on it with the chips. Or what about PB chips?!
I looooove carrot cake oats!!! I will only forgive you if you post your strangeness this week. 😉
It’s a good thing the oats were raw, considering you cooked the pancakes. 😉
Some people use cooked oats!
