I call them Everyone’s Favorite Pancakes because they truly are!
When I developed the first iteration of this recipes years ago I felt like I had hit the jackpot. I finally found a gluten free pancake option that I loved and could make from ingredients I always had on hand. That recipe because a crowd favorite here at Jessica Valant Pilates UNLIMITED.
Well, it’s even better now!
The base of this pancake recipe is the pancakes themselves. They’ve gotten a little bit of an upgrade since the original version with oats and baking soda involved.
The star of the show this time is the apple topping!
This has a special place in our family as it’s one of the very first things I ever cooked for my husband. It now serves as our backup option when I’ve run out of every other fruit in our house! I am guaranteed to always have some apples and the scent of them cooking on the stove with cinnamon screams holiday and cozy.
These are easy enough to make on a school morning yet fancy enough to serve for a holiday breakfast. I love these pancakes for the kids as well because they are full of protein from the eggs and the almond butter.
You’ll find that you can easily get 12-15 pancakes from this mixture! A serving size for us is usually two with ample toppings, but you can easily have more and know you are feeding yourself lots of nourishing ingredients! Leftovers serve us throughout the week. It’s like the gift that keeps on giving!
I promise these pancakes will become your favorite as well!
