Healthier Breakfast Recipe: Johnny Cake

I grew up on “Johny Cake”.  Most people haven’t heard of it, but it is the BOMB!  Still love the stuff to this day.  The original recipe calls for a ton of butter and germade, which is hard to find.  My mom had already adjusted it to make it healthier and I took it one step further and am confident in sharing this recipe with you!  It’s not a low glycemic balanced breakfast on it’s own, but if you add some protein (i.e. Greek yogurt or milk) and some fruit for added fiber, it’s just fine for once in a while!  It’s so nice because it makes a ton and is re-heatable.  My kids LOVE it!  I’m playing around with a blueberry syrup recipe and maple yogurt recipe, so stayed tuned for that.  Both would be great on top of this “Johnny Cake”.
