Ingredients
Scale
- 1+1/4 cup packed almond four
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large eggs – lightly whisked
- 1/4 cup milk – any milk will work, I used coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 small apple – about 2/3 cup diced
Instructions
- Combine the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
- Add in the whisked eggs, milk, butter, vanilla, and maple syrup, and mix that all together until a smooth batter forms. Then fold in the chopped apples.
- Heat a skillet or griddle to medium heat, and coat the cooking surface with butter or oil to prevent sticking. Once the pan or griddle is hot, pour the pancake batter in 1/3 cup amounts onto the cooking surface, making sure that the apple cinnamon pancakes are 1.5-2 inches apart.
- Cook the pancakes for about 2 minutes, and once you start to see bubbles forming around the edges of the pancakes, use a spatula to carefully flip each one over and continue cooking them until firm and golden brown. Continue until you have cooked all of the pancakes.
- Serve hot with butter and maple syrup along with your favorite pancake topping.
Notes
- Mix the dry ingredients first, then add in the wet ingredients. Let the batter sit at room temperature for super fluffy pancakes.
- Dice the apples smaller so it is easier to fold them into the batter. You can peel them or leave the peel on, totally up to you.
- Store these pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or you can freeze them. The most important part of storing them is letting them cool and layering them in between parchment paper to prevent them from sticking to one another.
