Ingredients

Pancakes

  • 1 cup pancake mix of choice (we used The Pancake from Josie's Best Gluten Free)
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 tsp matcha powder
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • Pinch of cinnamon

Apple Topping

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 granny smith apple, finely diced
  • 3 tbsp Autumn Apple Fruit Spread
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Prepare the pancake mix according to package directions. Fold in the melted butter, matcha, and a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon. Set aside. 
  2. Make the apple topping by heating a medium sized skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the apple, Autumn Apple Fruit Spread, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 5 minutes until the apples are tender. Stir in the vanilla and maple syrup. Set aside. 
  3. Cook the pancakes on a skillet or griddle over medium heat in a greased pan. Add 1-2 tbsp batter to the pan for each mini pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until cooked through. 
  4. If desired, assemble the pancakes with fun St. Patrick’s day toothpicks to serve!
