My kids were crazy about this breakfast. I liked the ease of prep. and being able to serve a unique breakfast quickly. I only had about a teaspoon of cinnamon left so I supplemented it with some apple pie spice and it was fantastic. I really loved the technique of putting the maple syrup (I used 100% maple syrup) into the hot pan. Delish! Thanks for the yummy breakfast recipe. :-)
