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.

Keeper recipe! I mixed these up the night before cooking them and made them up for a late breakfast at 10am and they were delicious and filling. I had three pancakes, my hubby had 4 and we each had a couple eggs. We both went on with our busy day filled with lots of physical work. These pancakes lasted us the entire day until we at at 7pm! Talk about staying power! I made the whole batch and plan to freeze the leftovers to have on hand for a quick breakfast. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

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.

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.

Wonderful tasting pancakes, these, & simple to prepare! I used buttermilk & enjoyed the addition of the cinnamon in particular! Topped mine with some homemade strawberry syrup! Definitely a keeper! [Made & reviewed while in Eastern Europe on the Zaar World Tour 4]
