So. We’re almost two weeks into 2017…how’s the new year treating you guys? Me? Well, I don’t even know. Life has been incredibly hectic lately, and I’ve barely had a minute to breathe, let alone reflect on 2017. [Not to be too much of a tease here, but I’m so excited to tell you about some exciting new projects that are keeping me so busy.]
I dunno about you guys, but when I am insanely busy (and let’s have some real talk here: eating take out) I crave warm, comforting, homemade food. Top of my list is breakfast (or brunch!) foods. You guys know by now how much I love things like pancakes and waffles, and I’m so excited to share this amazing flavor of pancakes with you guys. And the good news? If you’re sticking to New Year’s resolutions of eating healthy, these are on the healthier side. And if you’re crazy busy like I am? These pancakes are easy to whip up! So either way, you’re going to want to whip up a batch ASAP.
Oh, and if you’re not really looking to eat so healthy, you can skip the caramelized apple topping, and make some cream cheese glaze instead. Trust me.
