The Altered Chef Over the weekend we were making our weekend fun brunch, and I was cooking up recipes for Naturally Dyed Green Pancakes to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. We were creating a fun kid-friendly St. Patrick’s Day breakfast recipe, and I thought, hey what about us adults?! So we made an “adult only” pancake sauce. Adults deserve something festive for breakfast on St. Patrick’s Day too, am I right!? This recipe is deliciously sweet, with subtle notes of the Irish Cream and Espresso/Coffee. Nothing could be more appropriate and flavorful for this official Irish holiday! It is a unique twist on replacing ordinary maple syrup with an adult’s only sauce! I highly recommend pairing this sauce with our Naturally Dyed Green Pancakes. The two are a perfect combination for a fun and festive St. Patrick’s Day breakfast/brunch! As always, enjoy your holiday and I love to hear your thoughts!
