These Apple “Donut” Pancakes are a fun and tasty way to eat apples and pancakes. The apples soften a bit as they cook with the pancake batter and they pair so nicely together too. Furthermore, the apples can be peeled before slicing if desired.
Here I used my Vanilla Cottage Cheese pancake recipe to make the apple “donuts.” However, any pancake batter should work.
Served here with a bowl of Maple Cinnamon Oatmeal (topped with diced walnuts, sprouted pumpkin seeds, and blueberries) and carrots and blueberries. (Please cut fruits and food that are considered a choking hazard appropriately before serving).
Serve these pancakes on their own with a side of fruits and/or veggies. Other options include: served with a side of eggs, favorite jam (i.e. Blueberry Chia Jam), nut or seed butter, etc.
