    Protein packed pancake batter is topped with a delicious cinnamon apple topping making these Apple Cider Pancakes the perfect Fall breakfast.

    Apple Cider Pancakes

    If I want to start the morning off right, meaning get my kids in a good mood, I make pancakes. There is something about a buttery griddle and batter crisping that sets the right tone for the day. While I usually only make pancakes on the weekends, sometimes I'll surprise them with a special breakfast during the week. Pancakes are really exciting things, can you tell by the photo below? My hand model was very very eager to get the photos done and dive into the plate!

    Mornings are chaotic with three kids, so it doesn't happen very often. But when it does, I use Krusteaz Buttermilk Protein Pancake Mix. Made with a sweet cream buttermilk, this mix packs a major punch of protein. Something my kids definitely need in order to sustain their crazy appetite until lunch.

    To make thee Apple Cider Pancakes a bit more fall-ish, I replaced the water ingredient with apple cider. It resulted in the perfect amount of tart, sweet, and cinnamon flavors. In a quest to use up the massive amount of apples that we picked on out trip to Julian, I also put some apple chunks in the pancakes and made a cinnamon apple topping. The cider in the pancakes combined with the apple topping made for the perfect quick and easy breakfast.

    If you are looking for an easy breakfast that will impress, this is it. Using Krusteaz pancake mix, there is no need to worry about flat pancakes as they perk up perfectly in the pan. Do as I did and swap out the water for cider, eggnog, or even flavored creamer for a delicious spin on a classic! Within minutes, you'll be enjoying your breakfast and starting your day off right! Enjoy!

      Perfect fall pancakes! I love that pour shot - Now that's how you put syrup on a stack of pancakes. 😉

      These remind me of pancakes my mom used to make when I was young! I think I will try to veganize them...I've heard apple cider vinegar is a great alternative to get a buttermilk-like consistency 🙂
