The other day I found a rogue bag of chocolate chips in our cabinet. They were a couple months past their "best by" date. So I did a little research, and apparently there's no health hazard in using them after the big day's come and gone. After that date they do start to lose their flavor, though. You can bring that flavor back out by cooking or baking them, so we had a chocolate chip pancake brunch.

There is no real recipe. I'm not going to lie; I don't make pancakes from scratch. So if you want to make chocolate chip pancakes, I'd advise following the instructions on the box then adding chocolate chips to taste. ;)

My wife made these for lunch today. I love chocolate chip pancakes - I turn five years old when I see them!
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteDessert and breakfast at the same time. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteI find that many bulk foods last well past their expiration date, especially if you make an effort to store them right. We use a food saver and it works awesome.
Absolutely. I've never had a need to see if chocolate chips were one of them, but now that I have, I'm glad they are!
DeleteAnd it's a once in a while treat. :) It's kind of funny how a lot of breakfast foods are desserts in themselves. Scones, donuts, french toast, cinnamon rolls....it's all about moderation.
This looks amazing!! Love your blog and the colors :) I'm following you back. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers!
