Peach Sunrise Pancake Stack

Inspired by the golden mornings, lakeside breakfasts, and sweet nostalgia of Every Summer After

There’s something magical about summer mornings at the cottage, the sun glinting off the water, bare feet on the dock, and the smell of breakfast drifting through the screen door. This Peach Sunrise Pancake Stack captures that feeling with fluffy pancakes layered with maple-kissed peaches and creamy yogurt. It’s the kind of breakfast Sam and Percy might have shared before heading out for a day on the lake. It’s also made with blender pancakes that are incredibly easy and minimal mess for more time in the lake.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

For the Pancakes

• 1 ripe banana
• 2 large egg
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Half a peach diced
• ½ cup gluten free rolled oats

For the Maple Peach Topping

• 3 ripe peaches, sliced
• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
• 1 tbsp butter
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• Pinch of sea salt

For Serving

• 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt or whipped cream
• Extra maple syrup
• Fresh peach slices
• Toasted pecans or blueberry grain free granola  
• Mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Peach Topping

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add sliced peaches, maple syrup, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches soften and become glossy while still holding their shape. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Make the Pancake Batter

In a blender or magic bullet, combine all ingredients and pulse.

3. Cook the Pancakes

Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour approximately ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges begin to set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.

4. Assemble the Stack

Place one pancake on a serving plate. Add a spoonful of vanilla Greek yogurt or whipped cream, and a few maple peaches and blueberry grain free granola. Repeat, creating a tall stack of pancakes, peaches, and yogurt. Finish with extra peach slices, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a sprinkle of toasted granola or pecans.

Tropical Dockside Smoothie Bowl

Just like Percy and Sam’s sprawling, nostalgia-drenched summers in Barry’s Bay, this Tropical Dockside Smoothie Bowl captures the essence of long, hazy days spent by the water. The bright, tart lime and tropical fruits deliver the feeling of a perfect summer getaway, making it exactly the kind of vibrant, refreshing bowl you’d want while sitting on the edge of the dock with your feet dangling in the lake.

Ingredients

The Base:

Instructions

1. Blend the base: In a high-powered blender, combine the frozen mango, frozen cherries, frozen banana, coconut milk, vanilla protein powder, and lime juice.
