These are yummy pancakes. My kids gobbled them up and wanted more. A great combination of flavors. Made for ZWT4 for the Tastebud Tickling Travellers.

Very yummy pancakes with a great list of ingredients. I really enjoyed the texture and flavour of these. I used all whole wheat flour. These are even great made the night before, stored in the fridge, then heated in the microwave in the morning. Thanks for a great pancake! Reviewed during ZWT 4.

These were wonderful! My boys and I didn't even have to top them with anything. The apple taste came though and I will make these again soon. Made for ZWT4.
