Pancake Topping
Whether you are enjoying some hearty Buttermilk Pancakes or something lighter like Banana Protein Pancakes or Oatmeal Pancakes, this sweet and crunchy topping is a fantastic addition!
While syrup and butter is always a perfectly sweet and salty combination that is undeniably good, sometimes it’s nice to lighten things up with fresh fruit.
Fruit on Pancakes
Bananas, strawberries and blueberries are a classic pancake option, but the possibilities are endless. From roasted apples to fresh peaches, fruit is a great topping on your morning pancakes.
This Cherry Almond Topping is a unique twist on fruit with pancakes. The warm cinnamon spice warms up the fresh cherries and the almonds add a great crunch. It is all sweetened up a little with a couple tablespoons of brown sugar.
Depending on how tart your cherries are, you can take some liberties with how much sugar you add to sweeten them up a bit more or less.
Cinnamon Cherries on Ice Cream
This Cherry Almond Topping isn’t just limited to breakfast foods. While it is great on pancakes, French toast bake or your morning Greek yogurt, the possibilities are endless for these sweetened fruit and nuts.
A big bowl of ice cream is absolutely fantastic topped with these warm cinnamon spiced cherries and almonds. The tartness of the cherries with warm spice pairs with the sweet ice cream wonderfully.
