Ingredients
1 large apple (grated or finely chopped)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar (or honey for a natural sweetener)
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)
1 pinch of salt
¾ cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon melted butter (plus more for cooking)
Directions
Prepare the Apple – Wash, peel (if desired), and grate or finely chop the apple. Set aside.
Mix the Batter – In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter.
Make the Batter – Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the grated apple.
Cook the Pancakes – Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour small ladles of batter onto the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another minute.
Serve and Enjoy – Remove from heat and serve warm with honey, maple syrup, or powdered sugar!
Serving and Storage Tips
Serving: These pancakes taste best fresh, but you can enhance them with toppings like whipped cream, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of caramel.
Storage: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a dry pan over low heat or microwave for 20-30 seconds.
Freezing: Freeze pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen in a toaster or pan.
