Ingredients for Apple Walnut Pancakes

  • All Purpose Flour
  • Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • Canola Oil
  • 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • Maple Syrup

How to Make Apple Walnut Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large egg whites, 1 large egg, 1 cup milk, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
  3. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Fold in 1 cup diced apple and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite syrup.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
