Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ½ count red apples
- 3 tablespoon salted butter melted
- 1 ½ cups milk I used almond milk
- ½ cup water
- 2 count large eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon granulated white sugar
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Start by shredding your apples into a large bowl. You can keep the skin on for extra fiber, or peel before shredding.
- Add the remaining wet ingredients: melted butter, milk, water, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir well.
- Create a pile in that same bowl with the dry ingredients: the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix together the dry ingredients in the pile on top of the bowl, then gently fold everything together to form your pancake batter. The batter should be more on the runny side.
- Let the batter stand for 10 minutes.
- Prep a griddle to medium heat with nonstick spray and a bit of butter.
- Add ¼ cup of batter per pancake to the griddle, ensuring that you space out the pancakes to avoid them running together.
- Flip the pancakes after lots of bubbles form on top.
- Serve pancakes with extra butter, maple syrup, and chopped apples. Enjoy!
Notes
Tips & Tricks:
Make sure you let the batter sit for about 10 minutes before beginning to cook. This allows the ingredients like baking powder/baking soda to activate, making for a fluffier pancake.
Freezing Instructions:
Due to the fresh apple in the batter, I do not recommend freezing this pancake batter. You can store the cooked pancakes in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. When it's time to reheat, defrost them in the fridge overnight and then warm them up using a toaster oven/air fryer.
