If you like fruit with your pancakes then you will love these cinnamon apple pancake bites. The combination of warm apples, fluffy pancakes, and the blend of cinnamon and sugar will take an ordinary breakfast and transform it into an indulgent delight! You simply slice the fruit and dip it in the pancake mix, then cook them up like you would normal pancakes.

There’s something so comforting about pancakes but adding warm apples with cinnamon and sugar takes it to a whole other level! These apple pancake bites are a fun and delicious way to use this sweet fall fruit.

What Fruit Can You Use?

I’ve tried apples and bananas but I think strawberries would be excellent too!

What Ingredients Will You Need?

  • apples: or ripe fruit of choice
  • cinnamon: if you’re using apples, cinnamon is a must. It pairs so well with the apple’s
  • coconut sugar: I mixed the cinnamon with coconut sugar to sprinkle on top but any sugar will work or you can omit it altogether
  • pure maple syrup: to top the pancakes with. Honey would work too

Topping Ideas:

Apples: cinnamon + sugar mix topped with pure maple syrup is the absolute best combination in my opinion.

Bananas: cinnamon, peanut butter drizzle, and maple syrup are so good with the bananas.

Strawberries: I think a drizzle of melted chocolate would be divine with strawberry pancake bites.

This energizing cold brew protein shake blends coffee, chocolate protein, banana, and peanut butter for an unbelievably delicious drink! To make this coffee smoothie even healthier, I added frozen spinach and hemp seeds for added nutrients, and don’t worry you don’t even taste them.

Just like my butterfinger protein smoothie, this shake is so satisfying you won’t believe it’s healthy!

Here’s What You Need

  • coffee: You can buy cold brew or you can do what I did and make extra coffee the morning before then let it cool and refrigerate it until you make your smoothie.
  • chocolate protein powder: Whey or plant-based, use your favorite!
  • peanut butter: Most of us know chocolate and peanut butter pair beautifully together but adding coffee takes it to another level! So good!
  • frozen banana: It doesn’t have to be frozen but it will make it thicker and creamier. Just make sure your banana is ripe for extra sweetness.
  • frozen spinach: I add spinach to every smoothie because it’s an easy way to add vitamins and nutrients and I promise you won’t even taste it.
  • hemp seeds: Adds extra protein, fiber, and healthy fats without altering the taste.
  • milk: I like using unsweetened almond milk in my smoothies but any milk will work.
  • ice cubes: Ice will give your smoothie a thicker consistency and make it really cold.

This is a perfect breakfast recipe when you need something quick, healthy, and satisfying. Made using whole wheat tortillas, eggs, avocado, and white cheddar, it’s my go-to savory breakfast. This vegetarian quesadilla is a balanced breakfast option with protein, fiber, and healthy fats.

Although you could add bacon or sausage, it’s still very filling and satisfying as is. My husband and I enjoy it topped with Verde sauce or salsa. And I feel great serving it to my four-year-old because I know it’s a balanced and healthy meal.

This breakfast recipe is also a great one to take on the go and would be an excellent meal prep idea.

Breakfast Quesadilla Ingredients:

  • Whole Wheat Tortilla: Healthier than unbleached flour tortillas, these have more fiber and will thus keep you fuller for longer.
  • Eggs: Protein-rich and a breakfast staple. I usually scramble my eggs for this recipe, however, eggs cooked to your liking will do.
  • Avocado: One of my favorite healthy fats, this makes the quesadilla creamy and even more satisfying.
  • White Cheddar Cheese: This is what holds the quesadilla together and gives it a rich taste.

The Easiest Protein Pancakes Without Protein Powder

These delicious protein pancakes without protein powder will give you a massive 18 grams of natural protein and keep you full until lunch!

protein pancakes without protein powder

Pancakes are a very popular breakfast item. While they usually get you full quickly, they don’t keep you full for very long. This is because traditionally they are made with unbleached white flour and sugar, and don’t contain much protein or fiber. That’s why I created the one and only protein pancake recipe without protein powder to keep you full for hours.

I recently posted my high-protein fruit and yogurt parfait which I had on repeat every morning for months. I’m ready to change things up now so I have come up with the easiest protein pancakes without protein powder.

These are made with almond flour, coconut flour, and one egg which provides a whopping 18 g of protein. You can definitely top these with maple syrup, but on the days that I’m having a low-sugar breakfast, I top mine with a tablespoon of peanut butter.  This adds another 4 g of protein for a total of 22 grams of protein! That’s about the same as a serving of protein powder.

I like to make these blueberry protein pancakes topped with sliced strawberries. Seriously, I can barely finish the one pancake because it fills me up that much. Berries are naturally low in sugar, so they are a great topping idea.

This recipe is also amazing with a mashed banana inside the batter. These pancakes are hearty and amazing and will definitely keep you full for hours.

This recipe makes just one large protein pancake but you could easily double or triple the recipe. These pancakes are perfect for the whole family or if you want to meal prep.

Delicious & Healthy 2-Minute Protein Packed Breakfast | Nutritious Yogurt Bowl

If you’ve been looking for a quick protein-packed breakfast that’s healthy and delicious then you’re going to love this yogurt bowl! It’s a nutritious breakfast that only takes 2 minutes to make! Made with creamy yogurt, sweet berries, crunchy seeds and nuts and topped with creamy peanut butter. This breakfast won’t spike your blood sugar so you can have sustainable energy to power you through your morning.

I recently fell in love with this simple breakfast. This yogurt bowl is super quick to make and keeps me full for hours. It’s very customizable, but this particular recipe is low GI so it won’t spike your blood sugar and it’s a great low-carb breakfast option. I feel my best if I’m eating a low-sugar breakfast so I opt for plain yogurt for this recipe but you can use any yogurt you prefer or add honey.

This is my go-to breakfast most weekdays as it’s easy to throw together on busy mornings. I find the combination of sweet berries, bananas, crunchy nuts and seeds, and creamy peanut butter very satisfying.

Yogurt Bowl Ingredients:

  • Plain Full-Fat Greek Yogurt: I recently discovered that full-fat dairy is much more nutritious than low-fat, it has more flavor and keeps me full longer. You can substitute any yogurt for this recipe.
  • Berries: I use a combination of raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries because they are full of vitamins, and low in sugar but still sweet. You can definitely use any fruit you like.
  • Banana: Just half a banana gives this bowl some sweetness
  • Keifer: I add a bit of plain Keifer to get the benefits of a prebiotic. It’s a bit tart so if you’re not into that you can leave this out or add a flavored one.
  • Hemp Seeds: I love this superfood so much! They are rich in heart-healthy omega’s, vegan, and give a great crunch.
  • Walnuts: You can use any nut you like. I personally like the flavor of walnuts in this recipe and they are full of antioxidants.
  • Granola: A classic in a yogurt parfait, you can’t go wrong with a simple honey granola! However, if you want to keep this a low glycemic, then skip this.
  • Peanut Butter: I recently added this to the recipe and wow it’s a game-changer! I bet almond butter or sunflower butter would be great too.
