For a new twist on the usual pancake recipe, whip up some delicious apple ring pancakes.
Slice fresh apples, and dip them in oatmeal pancake batter.
This is definitely more fruit, more fiber, and fewer calories, all with 57 calories per ring.
These apple oatmeal rings cook just like regular pancakes, and the apples soften slightly, so when you take your first bite, the apple is slightly crisp but so warm and juicy.
These can be topped up with golden raisins and sliced almonds, but you can use any kind of fresh fruit, chopped nuts, applesauce, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
Here's all you need and yes, its as easy as it sounds.
