Our weather in Columbus has been unseasonably warm so far this winter; no complaints from me. January 2, 2012, was a rude awakening – blustery snow! Not a ton of snow, but enough to make me realize that perhaps we aren’t going to get lucky & skip right to spring. With such a cold morning, I instantly began to think of a warm, comforting breakfast. Hannah wanted pancakes, so I agreed and decided to make a warm topping to go along with our pancakes.
I whipped up some pancakes using the Simply Organic Pancake & Waffle mix that we received last week to review. The recipe called for 1 cup of mix, 1 egg, and 2/3 cup of milk (I used Silk Pure Almond), and made 6 small pancakes. While the pancakes were cooking in the pan, I prepared the cooked cinnamon raisin apples.
Cinnamon Raisin Apple Pancake Topping (makes enough to top 2 pancakes – can be doubled to serve more)
- 1 apple
- 1 TBSP raisins
- Cinnamon
1. Chop apple and sprinkle with cinnamon. Cover with a paper towel & place in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
2. Stir and place back in the microwave for another 1-2 minutes.
3. Add raisins & stir.
To complete the dish, top 2 pancakes with cinnamon apples & drizzle with 100% maple syrup.
This breakfast really hit the spot on such a chilly morning! The cooked apples didn’t need any added sweetener because of the drizzle of maple syrup that I added before eating. The pancakes were a little thicker than I prefer, but I am sure that could easily be fixed by my adding a little more almond milk. The pancakes had a wonderful flavor & great texture. The ingredients in the mix are:
Organic brown rice flour, organic potato starch, organic yellow corn flour, organic cane sugar, baking soda, organic guar gum, sea salt, monocalcium phosphate.
The mix can be purchased for $4.99/box on the Simply Organic website or in some local health food stores.
