If you don’t…just LIE TO ME.

I knew there was a reason that we were friends. You just GET ME.

My Whole Wheat Pancake obsession. We don’t need to discuss it. Unless you’re totally new to this blog. Then, just read a few posts

I pretty much declare my love of pancakes in all my pancake posts but my most favorite are pancakes with PROTEIN to build my muscles.

So the apple healthy oatmeal protein pancakes or microwave peanut protein pancakes totally had my heart…

UNTIL NOW.

YOU GUYS. Apple crisp topping ON TOP of Greek-yogurt pancakes that you can feel good eating for breakfast? OH HELLO YES PLEASE.

A Healthy Breakfast

If you’re anything like me, you’re always on the hunt for a healthy breakfast that nourishes your body BUT also satisfies your soul and your cravings. One of my favorite healthy breakfasts are quinoa breakfast bake with dates and bananas and you also can’t go wrong my paleo sweet potato breakfast bowl. What if I told you, though, that PANCAKES can also cover all your bases and be a healthful yet delicious breakfast!? YES, that’s right, these apple oatmeal pancakes I’m about to show you are a game changer! Here’s why:

• They use Whole Wheat Flour: If you are looking for a pancake recipe that’s a bit healthier, I’ve got you! These pancakes use whole wheat instead of regular all purpose white flour. 
• They’re sweetened naturally: I opted out of using regular, refined white sugar. Instead, I sweetened these pancakes with a combination of brown sugar for the topping and truvia sweetener for the pancakes themselves. Yay for a better-for-you version of your FAVE breakfast!
• They use Greek Yogurt: containing probiotics, protein, and loads of calcium, these pancakes are not dry at all thanks to greek yogurt!

Instructions
