How to make apple and cinnamon pancakes

Start by shredding the apples and mix with the cinnamon. Whisk eggs and milk in a bowl before adding the shredded apples. Whisk until combined.

Once you have added the flour and baking powder, make sure to only stir the batter to not over whisk the bubbles out of the baking powder, leaving the pancake flat.

Lastly add in some melted butter to make the batter stick less to the frying pan. The batter is now ready to go in the frying pan. Ready to make those pancakes.

For a detailed list of steps and full measurements see the recipe card below.

Substitutes

If you do not have apples at home, try the same recipe using pears.

I often substitute plain white flour with oat flour, to get some extra fibers in my diet. These pancakes works really well to make with a mix of white flour and oat flour. I am sure you can try any other flour that you have at home and use on regular basis. You might have to change how much or how little flour to use to get the right consistency. It should be the consistency of a thick batter, but still be able to pour easily into a frying pan.

Freezable

These pancakes are perfect to freeze. If you want to defrost them a few at the time, put some parchment paper in between each pancake before freezing. This make them easier to separate once they are frozen and you will not have a big stack of pancakes frozen together.

If you have the space in your freezer, freeze the pancakes flat on a cookie sheet, and once they are frozen solid, you can put them together in a freezer bag.

Variations

Cinnamon not your favourite? Try my apple and peanut butter pancakes instead. Or why not try my banana saving, no waste cooking, banana waffles.

For a thin pancake (think crepe) recipe, try my saffron pancakes which are a favourite during the Christmas period, when saffron is a major flavour in Sweden.

Do you have an overflow of apples in your garden at this time of the year? Try my quick puff pastry apple cups for a quick dessert, or afternoon snack.
