These Apple pancakes are a creative way to fit fruit into your breakfast. Top with extra cinnamon or berries for added flavor.
Makes: 6 Servings
Ingredients
1 apple, cored, sliced into thin rings (we like Granny Smith!)
2 1/2 cups pancake mix, prepared as written on package*
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Lightly coat a griddle or skillet with cooking spray, and heat over medium heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, add cinnamon to prepared pancake mix.
- For each pancake, place 1 apple ring on griddle. Top with about 1/4 cup batter, starting in the center and covering the apple.
- Cook until bubbles appear. Turn and cook other side until lightly brown.
*If pancake mix package calls for milk, use non-fat or low fat milk. Nutrition information will differ based on pancake mix used.
Note: To test the griddle to see if it is hot, sprinkle it with a few drops of water. When the drops sizzle and dance, you are ready to cook! The easiest way to pour the batter onto the hot griddle is to use a 1/4 cup measuring cup for each pancake. If the first pancake gets brown too quickly, lower the heat.
