Peanut Butter and Honey Pancake Tacos

My Eldest: Mom, are you getting out of bed? I can’t find my shoes.
Me: Ugh, is it 7:30 already? I haven’t made lunches yet. Double ugh, it’s Taco Tuesday and the recipe I made and photographed last night sucked and I don’t really want to post it. I really hope the kids don’t want pancakes for breakfast.
The Little One: I want pancakes for breakfast.

As I flipped pancakes and made the kids lunches (it’s a mom super power to do both efficiently), I couldn’t help but feel reluctant about posting the taco recipe I had for today. In true Mountain Mama fashion, I waited to the last minute to test the recipe and in all honesty they totally sucked. So here I was this morning, taco-less, coffee-less, flipping pancakes, making sandwiches and wishing I could just go back to bed.

But I didn’t go back to bed. I continued to flip pancakes. And all to quickly my brain switched thoughts entirely and I started thinking that pancakes is hardly a well rounded breakfast. Sure they’re homemade and most kids would be lucky to get a hot breakfast before leaving the house but somehow pancakes on their own just fall short. I know that as much as I love a plate of pancakes, I’m usually hungry hours later as it just isn’t enough to sustain me through my morning. And I like said above, I hadn’t had any coffee so asking me to scramble some eggs or fry some bacon was totally out of the question.

I needed a tacos and the kids needed more than pancakes so I did what any super-hero mom who also happens to write a food blog does. I combined the two problems and came up with one solution. Peanut Butter and Banana Breakfast Tacos. I had a breakfast packed with the goods that I knew would keep my kids bellies sustained through lunch and I also had a genius (albeit unconventional) taco to give you today.

Thank you and you’re welcome. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need some coffee.

ps- the kids, my husband and I all loved these. You can make it your own by putting whatever you want in. I opted for unsweetened coconut, chia seeds and a drizzle of honey.
