Equipment
- pancake batter dispenser or soup ladle
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ½ tablespoon brown sugar, or coconut sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup milk, dairy or non-dairy
- 2 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup shredded apples
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg and brown sugar.
- Make a hole in the center of the dry ingredients and add milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, eggs and shredded apple. Mix with a whisk until smooth.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat on a griddle or frying pan. Fill the pancake batter dispenser or soup ladle with batter and pour onto the buttered griddle in batches.
- When bubbles begin to form, flip pancakes with a spatula (about 2 minutes). Cook on the other side for about 2 more minutes or until both sides are golden brown.
- Serve with your choice of toppings, such as Greek yogurt, apple pie filling, diced apples, maple syrup, peaches, sliced bananas, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, etc.
Notes
Milk: Use any milk in this recipe. Dairy milk, lactose-free, almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, and coconut milk will create the same fluffy pancakes.
Yield: About 10 pancakes depending on size.
Storing: Store at room temperature for 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container. They are freezer-friendly for around 6 months. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or use a freezer storage bag. Defrost overnight at room temperature or in the microwave.
Tip 1: To make your pancakes extra fluffy, whip the egg until foamy prior to adding to the batter. When cooking, cover the pan with a lid. The heat will make them rise higher than without being covered.
Tip 2: There's no need to peel the apples! The skins become unrecognizable when shredded and cooked. You can use a cheese grater to shred them. It's even easier to chop them up and put them into a food processor and process until shredded.
