Here’s a delicious recipe for pancakes with apples, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch!
Apple Cinnamon Pancakes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 tbsp vinegar)
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 cup apple, peeled and diced (about 1 medium apple)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions:
- Prepare the Apple:
- In a small bowl, toss the diced apple with a little cinnamon and sugar (optional) to coat.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, beat the egg and then add the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Combine Mixtures:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps. Fold in the diced apples.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve:
- Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or additional apple slices on top.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, consider adding nuts or raisins to the batter.
- You can also sauté the apples in a little butter before adding them to the batter for a caramelized flavor.
Enjoy your delicious apple cinnamon pancakes!
