Apple cider pancakes provide a great way of warming up to fall without turning on the oven and heating up your kitchen while it’s still a bit warm outside.
These fluffy pancakes feature coconut flour, spices and reduced apple cider and get drizzled with maple syrup. They freeze well and can be reheated in the oven during busy mornings.
