Author: Melinda Strauss
Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 3-4 people
Ingredients
- ¾ cup all natural peanut butter
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup apple compote (recipe below)
- ¼ cup Ready to Eat Organic Flax Hemp Blend (can also use ground flax seeds)
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
Apple Compote:
- 2 large apples, chopped
- 1 cup water
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- To make the compote, combine the apples, water, honey and cinnamon in a small pot, bring the mixture to a boil then lower to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes.
- Stir the mixture occasionally then mash the apples in a food processor for a smooth consistency. If you like your apples chunky, just smash them with the back of a fork. Set the apple compote aside to cool slightly.
- While the apple compote is cooling, prepare the pancake batter. Combine all of the pancake ingredients together in a bowl and stir to combine. If the batter is too thick, add a bit more Greek yogurt to smooth it out.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. If you are using a griddle, lightly grease with a tablespoon of butter.
- Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the hot griddle, keeping 2 inches between each pancake so they have space to spread and are easy to flip.
- Cook the pancakes until the tops begin to bubble, around 2 minutes, then carefully flip the pancakes and cook for one more minute.
- Transfer the pancakes to a plate and serve immediately.
Notes
Top with peanut butter warmed in the microwave for 30 seconds and more of the apple compote. Enjoy!
