APPLE CIDER DONUT PANCAKES

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, apple cider, apple butter, egg, melted butter or oil, vanilla, and coconut sugar until smooth.
2. Mix in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until a batter forms.
3. For the Cinnamon Sugar: Combine 3 tbsp coconut sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl.
4. Heat a skillet or pan over medium heat. Add a generous pat of butter (you'll know the pan is hot enough if the butter immediately starts sizzling).
5. Coat the pan in the butter and pour in the batter 1/3 cup at a time.
6. Cook until the batter starts to bubble (about 2-3 minutes), and then flip to cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
7. Serve the pancakes warm topped with butter, maple syrup, and sprinkle of cinnamon sugar!
