Apple Pie Protein Pancakes

Thank you Krusteaz for sponsoring this Apple Pie Protein Pancakes recipe! 

Hi friends! We are starting the week off with a hearty breakfast in the form of Apple Pie Protein Pancakes. With a whopping 13g of protein, these pancakes will keep you filled and excited for fall. Now that we must accept it is fall, we might as well start indulging in fall flavors, right? Nothing like starting the day with all your favorite fall flavors; warm spices, apple pie filling and maple syrup.

These pancakes start with my newest Krusteaz must-have pancake mix. A buttermilk protein pancake mix with 13g of protein a serving is a great way to keep the family full and satisfied. If you haven’t tried it yet, you have to.

The fluffy buttermilk pancakes are spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. The pancakes are topped with an equally delicious apple pie filling; warm apples cooked in spices. Finally, they are topped with sweet maple syrup. You can skip the syrup if you like, but it’s a great addition to the fluffy pancakes. These apple pie protein pancakes will be perfect for any fall brunch. The pancakes also freeze very well. I made a few extras and froze for easy breakfasts during the work week.
