Ingredients for Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

  • Flour
  • Whole Wheat Flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1% Low Fat Milk
  • Butter
  • ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup peeled and diced apples (about 1 medium apple)

How to Make Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 ½ cups milk, ¼ cup melted unsalted butter, and ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar. Gently pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients.
  3. Gently fold in 1 cup peeled and diced apples (about 1 medium apple). Avoid overmixing.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  5. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, butter, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
