Apple Cider Maple Sausage Cornmeal Pancakes1
Apple Cider Cornmeal Pancakes made out of touch of maple syrup and sausage – an excellent breakfast!
In the realm of comfort food, there is one thing that dominates breakfast: pancakes.
I remember while i was small and my Dad used to create me personally the thinnest pancakes – it was such a treat to wake up to! Afterwards in life, I had been a huge enthusiast of thick and fluffy delicious chocolate chip pancakes.
To this day, every time I go to my best friend’s house from high school, I always demand that her mother make her well-known chocolate chip pancakes – they’re still my absolute favorite.
To be honest, I really love most pancakes because I only get to ask them to occasionally. And when I do, you better believe I weight them up with creamy, warm peanut butter AND maple syrup. That combo Can not be beat… unless you’re throwing bacon into the mix. After that OMG, just prevent it!
I was all set to create some apple cider donuts, but had a craving for gluten free cheesecake nut crust pancakes and happily stumbled into this recipe.
Have you acquired a SweeTango apple before? I LOVE them. I find them a whole lot in Minnesota during the fall; they’re a cross between a Honeycrisp and Zestar, and that means you know they’re good!
Anyway back again to pancake chat…
For a few weird reason, I had a craving for breakfast sausage. Usually I adhere to turkey bacon, but I used to be feeling like some poultry maple breakfast time sausage and believed it would be fantastic in the pancakes.
I mean, just imagine biting right into a pancake wrapped sausage. Dreamy, right?
Even better if it is a cornmeal pancake.
Of course they’re also made out of whole wheat pastry flour as well as non-fat greek yogurt, some maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, along with a bit of vanilla.
I also love the way the greek yogurt adds additional proteins and keeps them fluffy and moist!
My favorite part of these pancakes will be the sausage items; each bite gives a little salty-sweetness.
I hope you love these and highly recommend shopping for SweeTango Apple Cider!
