Author Notes
OK, OK...maybe I went a little bit outside the box with this one but you just have to keep an open mind here. It was one of those times like when I would say to my mom, "So, I've been thinking." And she would say, "Do I need to sit down for this?" So take a seat and let me lay out this idea I had. Think, brunch on Cinco de Mayo. Think, corn chips and guacamole in one happy pancake place. Now top that pancake with some lime sour cream and some fresh salsa. Are you with me here? —Dabblings

- Cornmeal, Avocado, and Lime Pancakes

These are unique in a distinctive group of recipes to begin with. The salsa is definitely better with the lime juice. In a contest for cakes I can’t imagine these below at least honorable mention. These are great!

Hey Dabblings, I work at Rose and Willard (https://www.roseandwillard.com/), a fashionable startup clothes company. We're starting a blog and were wondering please could we use the photo of the avocado pancakes above? We can reference it to you....

Made and enjoyed, dabblings!! I added a bit more pepper for a kick and was glad. Yum!
Dabblings April 18, 2012
That is so cool that you made them! I'm so glad you enjoyed them. I bet the extra pepper would be great, but when making it for the little ones I have to play down the spiciness a bit ;) Thanks for letting me know you tried them!

I'm telling you. I thought this one might flop big time. But we loved it. It's so good.

These look delish! The green color from avocado and the red tomatoes really give it a nice look...
