These Apple Protein Pancakes are not only delicious and simple, but have a healthy element your kids will love! The extra protein from the Kodiak cakes, along with the fiber and vitamins from the apples, make this breakfast the perfect way to start the day! I used Thrive Life’s Fuji Apples that are an all-time-favorite snack, as well as so fun to use in cooking! They are on sale this month, so it’s a great time to add some extra nutrients and flavor to your food storage.
