Ingredients

Pancakes:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 3 Tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 ½ granny smith apples peeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces (about 1 ½ cups)

Topping:

  • ½ granny smith apple peeled and diced small
  • Apple or regular syrup

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and cinnamon.
  • In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter.
  • Add the apple pieces and stir again.
  • Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and mix till mostly combined. Don’t overmix. It’s okay for a few dry streaks to be present. The batter will be thick.
  • Heat a griddle to 350-375 degrees F or a skillet to medium/medium-high and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Scoop about 1/3 cup batter for each pancake (more for larger pancakes or less for smaller pancakes). Flip when lots of bubbles are forming and popping on the top.
  • Re-spray with cooking spray each time you start new pancakes.
  • Top pancakes with a sprinkle of small, chopped apples and a generous drizzle of apple syrup (recipe linked below in notes) or regular syrup.

Notes

  1. Toppings are not included in nutritional value.
  2. Make sure that you do not overmix your batter.
  3. Other apples can be used, see above for ideas.
  4. Serve with my Apple Syrup, the best compliment to these!
  5. Buttermilk is highly recommended but regular milk will work as well.
  6. If these are not fluffy check your baking soda.
  7. These can be frozen, see above on how to do that.
  8. Easily double this recipe.
  9. The batter is thick so it won't spread as much, so use the bottom of a measuring cup to spread around the pan.
