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