Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 apple, peeled and diced
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of gluten-free flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg, 1 peeled and diced apple, and maple syrup for serving.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well mixed and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, crack the large egg and beat it lightly. Then, add the milk to the egg and mix until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the diced apple into the pancake batter until evenly distributed.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If necessary, lightly grease it with a small amount of oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the apple cinnamon pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup. Enjoy your delicious gluten-free breakfast!
Tips
- Choose the Right Flour: Use a high-quality gluten-free flour blend for the best texture and taste.
- Don't Overmix: Gently combine wet and dry ingredients to keep your pancakes light and fluffy.
- Dice Apples Uniformly: Small, consistent apple pieces ensure even distribution and better cooking.
- Control Your Heat: Medium heat is key to achieving golden-brown pancakes without burning.
- Test the First Pancake: Use your first pancake as a test to adjust heat and batter consistency.
- Keep Pancakes Warm: Use a low-temperature oven or covered plate to keep pancakes warm while cooking the batch.
- Fresh is Best: Serve immediately for the most delightful texture and flavor experience.
