Cinnamon Apple Pancakes
Yields: 16 silver dollar pancakes
 
These pancakes are perfect for lightened-up lazy weekend breakfasts! Any leftovers will keep for at least four days if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They also freeze really well!
  • for the apples
  • ½ cup (62g) diced apple (about one small, and cut really tiny!)
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • for the pancakes
  • 1 cup (120g) white whole wheat flour or gluten-free* flour (measured like this)
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120g) Silk Non-Dairy Yogurt Alternative, plain or vanilla
  • ½ cup + 2 tbsp (150mL) unsweetened cashew milk
  1. To prepare the apples, lightly coat a small pan with nonstick cooking spray, and briefly preheat over medium heat. Add the apples and sprinkle with the cinnamon. Cook, stirring frequently, for 4-6 minutes or until the apples have softened. Set aside.
  2. To prepare the pancakes, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together the coconut oil, vanilla, non-dairy yogurt alternative, and milk. Gradually stir in the flour.
  3. Lightly coat a large nonstick pan or griddle with nonstick cooking spray, and preheat over low heat.
  4. Using 2 tablespoons of batter for each pancake, dollop onto the hot pan, and spread into a circular shape if desired. Let the pancakes cook for 2-3 minutes, or until a slight skin starts to form around the edges and the bottom is light golden brown. Slide a spatula underneath, and flip. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes or until light golden brown on both sides. Serve hot topped with the prepared apples and pure maple syrup, if desired.
Notes: For the gluten-free flour, I recommend the following blend: ½ cup (60g) millet flour, ¼ cup (30g) tapioca flour, ¼ cup (30g) brown rice flour, and ½ teaspoon xanthan gum. Many store-bought gluten-free flour blends will work as well, if measured like this.

Whole wheat pastry flour, regular whole wheat flour, or all-purpose flour may be substituted in place of the white whole wheat flour.
