Surprise ingredient pancakes are so moist, fluffy and delicious! I have a grandson that is turning 13 this year and he is always asking me how I make pancakes. So I decided to add another recipe to the blog that he can try and that way he will find the pancake recipe that is just right for him. 

The surprise ingredient is mayonnaise, yes, that is right, mayonnaise will help make your pancakes more moist and fluffy. There is a chocolate cake that I have had that has mayonnaise in it and it is wonderful. 

We always love when our grandkids come and have sleepovers and we like to make them pancakes or oatmeal cinnamon waffles. My oldest grandson told me that he needs to learn how to make pancakes and so here is an easy recipe for him to make. I hope he loves them as much as we love making them for the grandkids.
