Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 apple, grated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well blended.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of almond milk, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until the maple syrup is fully dissolved in the almond milk.
- Grate 1 apple using a box grater or a food processor. You can leave the skin on for added nutrients and texture. Set the grated apple aside.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the grated apple until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If desired, lightly grease the surface with a small amount of oil or cooking spray.
- Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm in a low oven while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the warm vegan apple cinnamon pancakes with additional maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
Tips
- Choose the Right Flour: For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or oat flour. Just be mindful of the texture, as it may vary slightly.
- Grate Your Apple: Grating the apple instead of chopping it allows for a more even distribution throughout the batter, ensuring every bite is packed with fruity goodness.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine; overmixing can lead to dense pancakes.
- Preheat Your Skillet: Make sure your skillet is adequately preheated before pouring in the batter. This helps achieve that golden-brown exterior and fluffy interior.
- Keep Them Warm: If you’re making multiple batches, keep the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (about 200°F or 93°C) while you finish cooking the rest.
- Toppings Galore: Get creative with your toppings! Try adding fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a dollop of coconut yogurt along with maple syrup for an extra delicious twist.
