Something that I absolutely love about these pancake bites is that there is no baking involved. And based on my baking skills yesterday…well, I have none. I always have high hopes for baking and I’m constantly disappointed. Which is why pouring batter into a machine is way sexier to me. No worry, no upset, no eating the burnt scraps. Just simple, fluffy pancake bites to snack on. Just simple, pure joy.
You know else is pure joy? Sleeping through the night since we got new pillows. Why is it so incredibly hard to find the perfect pillow. Even now, when I’m sleeping through the night, I sometimes wake up in the morning wondering if it’s enough support for the neck. I had pillows that drove me crazy before because they were like sleeping on a yoga block, and now I have the fluffiest pillow ever that it just sinks completely. Why is shopping for pillows the most impossible task ever?!
I would say that I’m so excited that this week is coming to a close…but I just remembered it’s only Tuesday. But this week I have my eye on the prize – a trip to Walla Walla, Washington. This will be my first time to Walla Walla and I’m pretty pumped. After going to Santa Ynez Valley (this amazing little wine country while not even being that into wine) I’m excited to experience another place with a similar feel. I hope the people are just as nice as SYV because I seriously cannot wait to go back there. I have some things on my agenda and a few restaurants on my itinerary, but I’ve never been so if you have any recommendations for gluten free restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops or just cool places to see, let me know!! I’ve found that recommendations from others can be a life saver when I’m on these short trips!
Have you listened to my podcast lately? For most of the 51 episodes I’ve recorded, I’ve talked to myself for a solid hour. But I’m trying to mix it up moving forward. At first, I had absolutely no idea who I would want to interview on the podcast, so I finally turned to my instagram to see the people I enjoy following the most and started asking them! For far, I have 4 interviews this week and 2 the next. And I’m hoping I can keep adding to that. I like talking to myself (I am an only child) but hearing other people’s stories is the whole reason I started listening to podcasts in the first place. Have you listened to How I Build This with Guy Raz yet? Obsessed. So if you have any person you would like to hear on the podcast and learn a little more about their story, let me know!
Walla Walla and human recommendations are a must today.
Now go eat pancakes in the shape of balls!

Does your cake pop machine double up a a donut machine or are they separate?
yes, doubles as a donut hole maker!
Ugh, I am always in search of the perfect pillow. Do tell where you found yours!
i just got mine at target, but i don’t remember the brand!
These look AMAZE-BALLS! 🙂
Just took these out of the oven! I don’t have a cake pop pan so I made them as muffins. I scooped 1/4 cup batter into the silicone muffin liner, baked at 350 for 20 minutes, they turned out perfect! Thank you for the recipe! ????????
thanks for letting us know how you made them!!!
I have a MyPillow and let me tell you, that has been an absolute game changer for me in terms of sleeping well and waking up feeling refreshed with zero aches in my neck/back. I used to have a fancy down pillow but I was waking up 2+ mornings a week with a neck/upper back so sore, that if I wanted to turn my head I had to turn my whole body to do so. I was in SO much pain all the time. Over a year ago I got my hands on a MyPillow and as cheesy as the commercials are, I freaking love that thing. Provides all the right support in all the right places. I have not had a bad night’s sleep since using it! Plus I feel good about supporting a product made in the USA from an entrepreneur who started from absolutely nothing. They don’t pay me for saying this or anything, it really just is a kickass product. Just throwing it out there! 🙂
What pillow did you get? I need a new one!
i honestly have no idea what the brand is, i just got it at target
These look amazing! Can’t wait to try these. My girls will love them! Thanks so much for sharing your amazing recipes. I am a big fan of all of your social media! Love ya girl. So authentic!
thanks for the love, brandy!
Can’t wait to make these adorable pancake bites! Also, so excited that you will be posting more Instant Pot recipes. I LOVE my new IP and am always looking for great paleo recipes.
Just wanted you to know, that you are the sole reason that Paleo was made easy for me. I became Paleo a year ago at the recommendation of a wellness plan. Their recipes were exhausting and I was ready to give up. I found you, and then some of your fellow friend bloggers, and the rest is history. So Thank You for all you’ve done for my husband and me.
so excited to pull my IP out again! i missed that thing! and that is SO COOL!! so glad i could be part of your journey and make it a little less daunting!
PSA; I am obsessed with my Casper pillows. I even bought my dog their fancy dog bed ( which he refused to sleep on, go figure) but I am SO in love with my pillows!
i’ve heard so much about casper mattresses on podcasts, i’ll have to check out their pillows! thanks for the recommendation!
Yay, I love how you interview guests because you ask fun questions in addition to more serious ones 🙂
As someone who has listened to every single episode I think you should have Jaso Seib on your podcast – he recently wrote a book called body beliefs about helping women with body image issues and is trying to share that message with other women so I think he’d be a great guest since you have talked about that kind of stuff on your podcast.
Also if I see a cake pop maker at a garage sale or thrift store I may have to buy it to make these pancake bites, they look so yummy and easy (flipping pancakes can be so annoying)
sweet, i’ll look into him! thank you for the recommendation!
