these whole grain pancakes contain the warm spices of your favorite spice cake and the perfect amount of sweetness from a very ripe pear for a cozy autumn breakfast the whole family will love!
You guys.
I think these might be one of the best batches of pancakes I’ve made to date. I kid you not that when I took the first bite of these I said out loud “oh my god these are so good.”
I made a batch of spice pancakes the other weekend and I topped them with chopped pears and that started a whole thought pattern of how good it would be to put pear in the pancakes!
And oh how glad I am that idea popped into my head, because these babies are amazing.
They’re light and fluffy with the perfect hint of sweetness from the fruit, which pairs perfectly with the warm autumn spices.
You’re getting plenty of fiber from both the whole grain and the pear. If you serve these up with some yogurt, more sliced pear and a few walnuts, you’ve got yourself a delicious fall breakfast.
These aren’t just for adults either, Owen gobbled his first one up and asked for more before he had even finished his last mouthful.
And perhaps the best part about these, is that you can easily whip up a batch over the weekend, pop them in the freezer and eat them all week long!
