Hello Everyone. Happy Monday! Hard to believe we will be at the middle of October by the end of this week. This is the time of year when our family settles in and enjoys cooking together. We’re always looking for new ideas… I’ll share a recipe we tried this weekend for an apple puff pancake in the comments. If you have any favorite recipes, please share them back!
Last week I told you we would be having a team lunch on Wednesday. That is NOT going to happen this week due to conflicts with the Educator Network Professional learning that afternoon. We will reschedule…
Elementary Educator Network Sessions

Apple Puff Pancake:
3 eggs
3/4 cup flour (can be gluten free)
3/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp. salt
3 T butter
2 T sugar
1/4 t cinnamon
2+ apples, thinly sliced
Preheat oven to 400. Slice apples, place them in a skillet with butter, cinnamon and sugar. Put this in the oven while it preheats and you prepare the pancake batter.
In a blender combine other ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the oven and pour batter over it. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes or until pancake is puffy and golden. Serves 4.
Yum!
That looks amazing, Amy! Thank you for sharing 🙂 In the fall I eat (almost exclusively) beets, sweet potatoes and pumpkin. I can’t even begin to nail down a single recipe….likely because I only use recipes when I bake. So I will send my new favorite brownie recipe. Don’t be afraid of the secret ingredient…

That’s right, black bean brownies. Let me know if you try them 🙂
So down for these! Can’t wait for the weekend to try! Thanks! 😀
I might have to try those black bean brownies, too! I’m an adventurer! 😉
