Instructions
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: Start by combining the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Add Wet Ingredients: Next, add the well-beaten egg (or flax meal egg replacer if you’re using a vegan alternative), vanilla extract, cold milk, and grated apple to the dry mixture. Whisk everything together until the batter is smooth and well-combined. You may notice the batter is a little thicker, which is perfectly fine.
-
Heat the Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle on medium heat and add a little oil to prevent sticking. Once the skillet is heated, use a ladle to pour the pancake batter onto the surface. Do not spread the mixture—let it naturally form a boundary as it hits the hot surface.
-
Cook the Pancakes: Cook the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes or until small bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges start to crisp up slightly. This is a good indicator that it’s time to flip them. Carefully flip the pancakes over and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are lightly browned and cooked through.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the pancakes are cooked, remove them from the skillet and stack them on a plate. Serve the pancakes warm with a drizzle of honey, more freshly grated apples, or any other seasonal fruits of your choice for an extra burst of flavor and nutrition.
Pro Tip: For a fun variation, try adding cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for extra warmth and spice. You can also replace honey with maple syrup for a different sweet touch.
This Apple Vanilla Whole Wheat Pancakes Recipe is a wonderful way to start your day with a nutritious, hearty, and flavorful breakfast. Enjoy these wholesome pancakes as a healthy alternative to regular pancakes while still satisfying your cravings for something sweet and comforting.
