A healthy sweet breakfast option with a secret ingredient. No added sugar, low carbs and low sodium. Just apples, eggs, a little bit of flour, cinnamon, and what’s the extra secret ingredient? Cayenne pepper. Just enough to give a bit of warmth, but not enough to make it spicy. Not even the kids noticed it! ETA note this is for people watching their sugar, sodium and carb intake. There’s a reason this isn’t a ‘standard’ pancake recipe. But for diabetics or those on a special diet, and those trying to stay away from refined sugars and unhealthy food - this is a really nice option! Obviously don’t put sugar or syrup on it. Tips: use tart or extra sweet apples. Increase cayenne pepper for extra kick, remove for kids. Flour binds it together. Spelt flour is healthier, but any flour will do.
