A cozy brunch classic bursting with fresh apple sweetness and warm cinnamon spice. Fluffy, tender, and easy to make—perfect for family breakfasts or special weekend treats.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1⅓ cups all-purpose flour (unbleached preferred)

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free if possible)

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or coconut sugar/honey)

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice)

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

  • 1 large egg (or 1 chia/flax egg for vegan)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or ½ tsp almond extract)

  • 4 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut/olive oil)

  • 1 medium firm apple, grated (no peeling needed)

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon until blended.

  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, vanilla, and cooled melted butter gently.

  3. Make the batter: Pour wet mix into the dry mix. Stir lightly with a spatula—lumps are fine, don’t overmix.

  4. Add apple: Fold in freshly grated apple, spreading moisture and flavor.

  5. Cook pancakes: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat with butter or oil. Drop ¼ cup batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top and edges look set, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook 2 more minutes until golden.

  6. Keep them fluffy: Transfer cooked pancakes to a wire rack to avoid sogginess while finishing the batch.

Notes

Serving ideas: Top with melted butter, maple syrup, sautéed apples, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Serve alongside eggs or yogurt for a balanced meal.

Tips:

  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes for fluffier pancakes.

  • Avoid over-stirring to keep pancakes light and tender.

  • Adjust heat as needed: batter sizzling loudly? Turn it down.

Storage & reheating:

  • Cool completely before stacking with wax paper in an airtight container.

  • Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.

  • Reheat in a toaster or oven at 300°F for 8-10 minutes from frozen.
