Labor Day Brunch Ideas with Baklava Pancakes!


Have fun with your family this Labor Day by cooking brunch the easy gourmet way.

Baklava pancakes have so much flavor that your family will love them.


Cinnamon and chopped walnuts add crunch and texture to your everyday breakfast pancakes. You won’t want to sleep in once you try these! "Greek Chic" them by drizzling pancakes with chocolate for the kids. A healthy alternative is to use honey in place of syrup. With the honey over the pancakes, you will think you are eating baklava.
