Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 1 small apple, grated

Instructions

  1. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted coconut oil, and grated apple until well mixed, ensuring the grated apple is evenly incorporated.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, baking powder, sea salt, and a pinch of ground cinnamon to the wet mixture. Stir gently until a uniform batter forms without overmixing.
  3. Preheat Pan: Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with butter or coconut oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
  4. Cook Pancakes: Pour small rounds of batter onto the heated pan. Cook for approximately 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbles develop on the surface and the edges look set.
  5. Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve: Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as nut butter or yogurt for added flavor and nutrition.

Notes

  • Use a small apple variety like Gala or Fuji for a sweeter flavor and easier grating.
  • Adjust milk quantity if the batter is too thick or thin to achieve the desired consistency.
  • Substitute coconut oil with melted butter or neutral oil if preferred.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
  • Serve immediately for best texture; leftover pancakes can be refrigerated and gently reheated.
