With cooler temperatures hitting most of the country as fall is well underway, you’d barely realize it living in San Diego. We did have a few days last week with temperatures around 70 degrees. I kept seeing people walking around with heavy jackets and boots on, and all I could think is that San Diegans are desperate to pull out their chilly weather clothing! This weekend was back to warmer temperatures. My favorite is when temperatures are in the low 70s, but don’t think I’m complaining. Laying on the beach earlier today and enjoying the gorgeous warm sunshine wasn’t too terrible. 😉
Even though it still feels a lot like summertime, I’ve been embracing a lot of autumn things — including my pumpkin obsession lately, picking up some fall-ish goodies during a farmer’s market trip yesterday…
…and my yummy pancake creation yesterday:
Cinnamon Apple & Banana Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 banana mashed
- 1 medium apple chopped
- 2 TSP light brown sugar
- 1 TSP baking powder
- 1 TSP cinnamon
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 TSP vanilla
- 1 TBSP light butter melted
- Dash of salt
Instructions
- Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, 1 TSP of the brown sugar, and 1/2 TSP of the cinnamon in a bowl.
- Add the banana, almond milk, vanilla, and butter to the bowl, and mix everything together well.
- Pour the batter onto a griddle pan over medium heat, forming 3 pancakes.
- Cook until lightly browned on both sides.
- Meanwhile, put the apple chunks and remaining cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Warm apple pieces in the microwave for 30-45 seconds, or until hot.
- Once pancakes are done, remove from heat and place on a plate. Add the apple mix on top.
- Eat as is, or add your favorite toppings. I threw a few TBSPs of granola on top.
