Pancakes almost always seem like a weekend thing. They are time consuming, yet tasty and sometimes unhealthy. Although, thanks to these pancakes, those thoughts are a thing of the past. These are easy to make, only dirty up three dishes (including your plate) and can be frozen for a quick weekday morning!
In this recipe I wanted to combine simplicity with tastiness. Sweet yet tart apples are combined with hearty almond flour and energy boosting cinnamon, for a delicious boost for your day. Apples provide fiber to help keep you fuller longer. Apples also provide an array of phtyto-nutrients along with antioxidant properties. Among these nutrients include Vitamins C and B. Almond flour is one of my favorite gluten free flours. It can easily be made at home or bought at the store, while it also combines well with many different recipes. The best thing about almond flour I enjoy though is the taste and texture. It has a distinct hearty, nutty flavor and a light and fluffy texture. It can also be combined with the right things to create a treat that will be indistinguishable from a non-gluten free item. To further increase my morning energy boost, I topped my pancakes with some homemade peanut butter.
