The apple pancakes with rice flour make our breakfast enjoyable without making us feel heavy!
Born from my usual need to vary breakfast products, while being careful not to add too much sugar (or avoid it when possible), these little apple pancakes won me over for their simplicity of preparation, taste, and lightness.
The choice to use rice flour is entirely personal, but it’s not an obligation, just like the use of cinnamon to flavor them; but as we know, apples call for cinnamon and vice versa!
If you are a fan of breakfasts and want to try these delicious apple pancakes, get the ingredients and prepare them; those that are left, if any, you can always freeze! And remember, if you also use gluten-free baking powder, you’ll get a gluten-free product.
