Apple Pie Pancakes – A Cozy Twist on Classic Breakfast


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free 1:1 blend)
• 2 tbsp brown sugar or coconut sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp nutmeg
• Pinch of salt
• 1 cup milk (dairy, almond, or oat)
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 medium apple, peeled and finely diced
• 1 tbsp maple syrup (plus extra for serving)
• Optional: chopped walnuts or pecans


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, beat milk, egg, melted butter, vanilla, and maple syrup.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix—small lumps are okay!
  4. Fold in diced apples (and nuts if using). Let batter rest 5 minutes.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set.
  7. Flip and cook 1–2 minutes more, until golden and cooked through.
  8. Serve warm stacked high with extra maple syrup, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and optional whipped cream or yogurt!

💡 Make it extra apple-pie-like: Top with a dollop of cinnamon-spiced Greek yogurt or streusel crumble!

Comfort food magic for fall mornings, brunches, or dessert-for-breakfast dreams!
