Healthy Apple Pancakes

Who doesn’t love pancakes! And when they taste this good and are this healthy, there’s every reason to enjoy them on a regular basis. These pancakes are sweetened with grated apple, are high in fibre, protein, vitamins A and C, calcium, magnesium and iron. We have been making this recipe for years and every time we end up with fluffy and scrumptious pancakes the whole family can enjoy.
