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.

Base:

  • Greens: A burger bowl starts with a base of fresh, crisp lettuce or salad greens. I use what I always have in the fridge; a mix of arugula and spinach but other choices could include iceberg lettuce or romaine.

Protein:

  • Ground Meat: I use ground turkey, but ground beef, bison, chicken, or a veggie burger would be delicious in this dish!

Toppings:

  • Cheese: I use our favorite cheese, white cheddar, but choose what you like best or omit it altogether.
  • Tomatoes: Cherry tomatoes are my pick for this recipe as they provide a juicy and sweet flavor.
  • Pickles: It gives this burger bowl a tangy and classic burger flavor.
  • Sauteed Onions: I think the sweetness of sauteed onions takes an ordinary burger up a notch but you could use raw onion too if that’s what you prefer.
  • Avocado: Slices of ripe avocado add creaminess and healthy fats to the bowl. Something I always add to our turkey burgers.

Fries:

Special Sauce:

  • Using classic burger condiments like ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise creates the perfect special sauce to drizzle over this burger bowl recipe. Alternatively, you could opt for a creamy dressing like ranch or blue cheese.

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.
