Carbs are healthy if you stuff them with fruit, right? That’s definitely what I always tell myself when I finish off a plate of these apple slice pancakes!
In my opinion, the weekend is something to celebrate. We work hard all week. We have early alarm times, responsibilities, we are usually running out the door & have limited breakfast time. There is no better way to celebrate a Saturday morning at home than with a giant stack of pancakes, am I right? You will come to learn that I am a SUCKER for pancakes. They always have, and always will be, a weakness of mine. When I was younger I used to call them “nakers” and would ask my mom to make them every weekend. Regular, chocolate chip, berry…I don’t care. I want them all.
There are very few things I was absolutely unwilling to give up when I first started my path towards better health. Breakfast sweets was one of them (I mean, hello..I only have a few posts up on this blog so far and two of them are already sweet breakfast yummies. If you want other ideas for breakfast treats, check out my Easy Protein Packed Banana Bread).
It is because of my love for all things sweet in the morning, I am always searching for ways to change up my pancake recipes and add a healthy twist to them. These apple slice pancakes give me all the flavor I crave with some added crunch, nutrients and flavor.
Pro Tip: If you want to be adventurous, add some cinnamon and get ready for the perfect Fall breakfast.
These apple pancakes are SUCH a fun and healthy twist on the originals that we all know and love.
