Take your gluten free pancakes to the next level with this buttermilk apple pancakes recipe. They’re dairy free and vegan too.
Ok, I know it’s not apple season yet, but I just can’t wait until fall to dig into some apples. I’ve been buying gala apples by the 5lb bag and can’t seem to make them last long enough. I cannot wait until we can go apple-picking and grab some fresh ones – hopefully we can actually make that happen this year.
Anyways, I’m all about some apple and these gluten free pancakes include it in not one, but three ways. Feel free to stick to just one, but why stop there when you can get triple the apple action? I may have called them “buttermilk” pancakes, but don’t be fooled – these pancakes are dairy-free and gluten-free too.
By adding apple cider vinegar {wait, does that mean there are apples FOUR ways?}, to the Almond Breeze Almondmilk, you can “fake” a buttermilk-like effect.
For super apple power, top these gluten free pancakes with chunks of apple {I like to sprinkle mine with lemon juice and cinnamon} and add a dollop of fresh homemade apple butter.

I know pumpkin gets to be the star of the fall show, but aside from pancakes and cream cheese, I’m really not all that into it. Apples, on the other hand, I can’t get enough of. I’m still sad we didn’t make it apple picking this year.
Even though I didn’t leave an orchard with bushels of apples to bring home, I’m still obsessed with this forgotten fall fruit in every shape and form – from apple butter to hot paninis, cider cinnamon rolls to savory salads and marinades.
Here are 13 great apple recipes to get your meal-making wheels turning for the season. From tasty treats to healthy eats, here you go!

What’s your favorite apple recipe?
Recipe
There’s something about the onset of cooler weather that has everyone scrambling for their first can of pumpkin.
I, of course, am often one of them. But there’s another fall flavor that so easily gets neglected. Apple.
The smell of hot apple cider, homemade applesauce, or apple cobbler is enough to put a smile on your face. Add apple picking and caramel apples, and how could you not love the season?
The cool weather has paid us a visit this weekend, but there are 80 and 90 degrees still on the forecast, so I’m not getting too excited yet. In fact, apple season really hasn’t hit us here yet.
That doesn’t mean I don’t yearn for that spiced apple fall flavor already, the same way I reached for my stash of pumpkin a month ago.
Luckily, this dish gives that satisfying apple flavor without the need for freshly picked apples. {Although you can bet I’ll be making it again as soon as I can get my hand on some of those.} Instead, this dish can be made all year long- with apple sauce!
Cran-Apple Oatmeal!
It starts with a base just like my overnight steel cut oats. Just add in a few extra ingredients and you’ll be blown away that this breakfast cooked itself while you slept.
Cran Apple Steel Cut Oats
Ingredients
- 1 cup steel cut oats
- 4 cups water {or mix of almond milk}
- 1 cup applesauce {prepared or homemade}
- handful dried cranberries
- Spices: cinnamon, cloves, allspice
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in slow cooker.
- Set slow cooker on low and let cook overnight, about 6-8 hours.
- In the morning, stir oats, and add more spices as desired.
- Serve warm.
- This makes 4 servings.
- Note: I have a small, newer crock pot that cooks very quickly- I set it on "Keep Warm" overnight, then bump it up to low or high in the morning, depending on how soon I'm going to eat. It keeps the oats from burning and drying up too much. You can also try adding more liquid.

There’s nothing like waking up to this in the morning. The smell of apple and clove, with the sweet hint of cranberry. Ready for you to dig in immediately with a spoon, no stopping to pull out ingredients, pots, or turning on the stove.
Incidentally, this bowl of oats goes perfect with a dollop of cashew butter. So perfectly that I didn’t stop to take a picture as I downed the bowl in record time, burning my mouth along the way.
Are you a fall person or are you hanging on to summer?

Banana Apple Oats!!
Just my usual oat combo with banana, vanilla, and apple. To speed up cooking time, I cut up the apple & added some cinnamon and agave, then nuked it in the microwave for a minute before adding to the oats.
Guess what’s baaaaaaaaack?! DYKT!!!

Did You Know Tuesday #9
Did you know that coffee isn’t necessarily dehydrating?
If your body is used to coffee (i.e. you drink it on a regular basis) you can actually count is as part of your fluid intake! However, if you only have it on occasion, coffee acts as a diuretic and can contribute to dehydration.
Coffee is one of those topics where “they” change their minds about it nearly every day, so use your best judgment!! Check to see if you’re hydrated– is your urine clear or pale yellow, or is it dark? Does your skin look dry? Are you thirsty?!
If you drink coffee before a race, make sure you practice drinking it before a training run to see how your body handles it. And be sure to include other fluids besides coffee.
Do you drink coffee before a race? I do, but stick to one cup. (Gotta make sure the plumbing’s clear if you know what I mean…;))
