Apple Cinnamon Kefir Pancakes

Submitted by WI Cheesehead

"You can do this as a blender pancake, or instead of the grains, use 1 cup of flour and mix as usual. I combined a couple of recipes, starting off with the base Blender Waffle recipe (from Sue Gregg) I already have posted. My 5 yo hates pancakes lately, but when he tried these (with caramel syrup, of course) he ate 4 of them! If you need a recipe for making homemade kefir see Recipe #234153. It's so easy to make, right on your counter! You just need to get the kefir grains from someone."
