Day TWO of my Fresh Fit N Festive ~ 6 Days of Holidays series! (Check back here if you’ve missed out what I’m doing this week)
Guess what holiday we’re celebrating now?
Thanksgiving!
Just like I could have done for yesterday’s halloween theme, I could have gone with pumpkin for Thanksgiving too, but I didn’t! (surprised?!).
I was thinking.. and Thanksgiving is a time when all your family and friends are around for a few days usually. What does that call for? Yummy, creative, fun breakfast ideas to feed everyone! And what better way to make everyone happy then a delicious, crunchy style, apple pie flavored pancake?
Apples + Pancakes = REAL Apple Pancakes..in a cool shape!
These not only taste like apple, but have whole slices of apple within! How fun?
I can only imagine how tasty these would be topped with my crockpot Pumpkin Apple Butter, or my homemade Almond Butter, or healthy Powdered Sugar!
I saw this idea on pinterest and had to try it out myself, of course, in a healthier way.
And apple a day keeps the doctor away…
Simply core your apple and slice it horizontally into rings, dip into the batter, and cook. Wallah! You’ve got yourself easy, apple filled, delicious and healthy pancakes.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack..Let’s just say I made enough of these to enjoy throughout my week at many different times 🙂
