Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 3 units large eggs
- 0.75 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol or other sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 units medium apples (Granny Smith recommended), thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a blender, combine almond milk, eggs, whole wheat flour, 1 tablespoon of erythritol, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until the batter is smooth and set aside.
In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet or cast-iron pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the thinly sliced apples, lemon juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon of erythritol, and nutmeg. Stir and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the apples begin to soften.
Spread the apple mixture evenly across the bottom of the skillet. Pour the prepared batter over the apples.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (it will be extremely hot). Allow the pancake to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing into wedges.
Serve warm. Optionally, sprinkle with a light dusting of cinnamon for garnish or serve with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream.
