Apple Cherry Walnut Pancakes (& Fit Body Bakery Giveaway!)

Pancakes are forever and always my favorite kind of breakfast.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to pancake ideas. In the summer I’m all about incorporating berries into my pancakes, and now that it’s autumn, I’m into seasonal pancakes that focus on foods like pumpkin and apple. autumn pancakes-1

Recently Fit Body Bakery sent me a few of their gluten-free, protein rich baking mixes to get creative with, including their Power Up Pancake mix. The Fit Body Bakery line was created to support strong, healthy, active bodies, so naturally, I was excited to experiment with their mixes. Designed to help customers to bake fresh AND healthy, their mixes contain:

  •  6g+ protein per serving
  • About half the sugar as conventional baking mixes and recipes
  • Unrefined coconut sugar and stevia for sweeteners
  • 100% gluten free whole grains
  • No preservatives or artificial ingredients

With baked apple, dried cherries, chopped walnuts, cinnamon & maple syrup, today’s pancake recipe is all about those delicious autumn flavor favorites.

First, I combined some of the Power Up mix with with almond milk and cinnamon.

While I cooked the pancakes, I created my topping by first dry roasting some chopped walnuts, then adding in chopped apple, maple syrup, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice – letting it cook until the apples were gooey and soft. I added in some chopped dried tart cherries for some extra fruitiness.
