Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Unsweetened apple sauce
- 1 whole Large egg
- 0.75 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 medium Apple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter or coconut oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened apple sauce, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Fold in the finely chopped apple pieces into the batter.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with a portion of the unsalted butter or coconut oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, using a spatula to spread the batter if necessary to create a round shape.
Cook each pancake for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Carefully flip and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter or coconut oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve warm. These pancakes can be enjoyed on their own or topped with additional apple slices and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
