September is the official National Breakfast Month and unofficial back to school month which means many busy parents are trying to get a healthy breakfast together for their kids before they head out the door. I’m a big fan of food prep especially for breakfast. Let’s be honest… who really has time to cook an elaborate breakfast in the morning? Here are a couple of my favorite breakfasts that are pre made and can be taken to go: Overnight Oats, my favorite Protein Bars, Quinoa Bars, Orange Coconut muffins… just to name a few!
For this month’s Recipe Redux focusing on freezer friendly meals, I bring you super easy make ahead pancakes customized for fall flavor with the addition of apples and cinnamon. Cook a double batch of the pancakes on the weekend and freeze for quick breakfast during the week!

Cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice to taste
1 tsp vanilla extract or Nu Naturals vanilla stevia
Directions:
1. Combine dry ingredients and then mix in wet pancake ingredients
2. Heat pan to medium and spray with cooking spray (I used coconut oil spray)
3. Using ¼ cup measurement, scoop batter onto hot pan
4. Cook on one side until solid enough to flip
