Fluffy Apple Pancakes perfect for busy mornings and freezer friendly! These have grated apples, cinnamon and ginger to bring out perfect fall flavors! The cinnamon sautéed apples on top are a must!
This is a quick simple recipe! I wish I took more photos but I quickly filmed this recipe since my toddler was getting super hungry & wanted to dig into the pancakes + apples. She was a BIG fan of the apples. I didn’t add in sugar when I made hers – but add in sugar if you make them!
I’ve been having her help me with a lot of recipes like a Matcha Latte and Pumpkin Bread on my Instagram. She’s been getting better at helping me add ingredients into a bowl, mixing, cracking an egg & waiting patiently without putting her hands into the mixing bowl.
She always asks to help whenever I take out the measuring spoons + mixing bowl.
These pancakes are toddler friendly & freezer friendly which are great for busy mornings. I added 3/4 of this batch into a freezer friendly bag. I warm them up on a plate with a wet paper towel on top for 45 seconds before serving.
These pancakes are topped with cinnamon sautéed apples but you can also add maple syrup, powdered sugar or other fruits of choice!
I also have some other pancake recipes on my blog – Simple Fluffy Pancakes, Sheet Pan Pancakes and Almond Butter Banana Pancakes!
