Apple Cinnamon Oat Pancakes

Hearty way to start the day

We always buy honeycrisp or gala apples with a plan to snack on them by themselves for the health benefits they bring. But then the weekend hits and here we are looking at the apples on the counter that we didn't eat during the week. What to do? Make pancakes of course!

In all seriousness, our pancake recipe below can be made with intention as they are a bit more balanced than some. We use a mix from Kodiak Cakes, giving us a few more grams of protein per serving. And of course rolled oats, too. There are health benefits in cinnamon, too!

So again, we won't call our pancakes healthy (we're not dieticians), we find them to be a little lighter in calories (and with fewer grams of sugar) than flapjacks we've indulged in the past!
