Mini Maple Cinnamon Apple Pancake Dippers with Apple Cider Syrup
Mini Maple Cinnamon Apple Pancake Dippers with Apple Cider Syrup are a fun and healthy breakfast that your kids will love or make them for a brunch.
Pancakes have become a staple in our house. On nights when my husband has a work dinner, my little one usually chooses pancakes for dinner. I’ve developed a recipe that is low fat, low calorie and healthy and is so versatile. We now make many different flavors. Apple Pancake Dippers came about when I saw these adorable little pancakes on Mother’s Niche . I just adored that she used a madeleine pan. I just happened to have the pan because I have been meaning to make the cookies. Well, I used them for pancakes instead. Don’t they look so cute in a shell shape? Don’t worry if you don’t have this pan, you can use a mini muffin tin. I used my own pancake recipe and streamlined the recipe to speed up the prep time. These were a big hit. They would be perfect on a brunch buffet.
I added some whole wheat flour and Greek yogurt. They are loaded with delicious and healthy apples. They are even perfect to pack for lunch. You can even make a big batch and freeze them. So there is no excuse for not eating breakfast before you head out the door. One of my daughter’s other favorite things about these pancakes, no forks needed. These are finger food. Go ahead and pick one up and dip into a little pure maple syrup. You will be coming back for more.
Add Healthy Apple Pancake Dippers to your breakfast or brunch menu or “brinner”. Breakfast for dinner is alway popular at our house. Be sure to come back Thursday for a some Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Bark. Oh yes, you know you want to.
