Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking)
- 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and grated
- Maple syrup or powdered sugar (for serving)
Instructions:
- Prepare dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg and then add milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Stir until well combined.
- Combine: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the grated apple.
- Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
- Serve: Serve warm with maple syrup or powdered sugar on top.
Enjoy these fluffy, fruity pancakes with a warm cup of coffee or tea!
