PaulaG's Note:

These are like having a slice of apple pie for breakfast except healthier. These are great spread with apple butter or topped with glazed apples.

These came out great! Healthy, tasty and easy. I used my own apple puree which was pretty thick so I needed to use more milk, but other than that followed the recipe exactly. Thanks for posting.

Great pancakes! I made half of a recipe and got 5 large pancakes. Loved the hearty grains in this, while the texture was not too dense or heavy. The apple flavor was subtle; I think the addition of some chopped fresh apple would be good too. Great healthy and filling breakfast - thanks for sharing the recipe!
