The whole family will love these light, fluffy and super delicious pancakes. Even those that aren’t vegan will ask for more!
My whole family loves pancakes. I don’t make them often mainly due to the lack of time in the mornings, but when I do I have to double-sometimes triple- the recipe to make sure I have enough for the 5 of us. We all like to eat, and we all like to eat pancakes. So why not make ones that are healthier with whole grains and no refined sugar? These. Are. Awesome.
I wanted to mix it up a bit and steer away from ever so popular Pumpkin Protein Pancakes (which are made all year long) and the Coconut Flour Pancakes (which are always a crowd pleaser). These Apple Cinnamon Pancakes did not disappoint.

Apple Cinnamon Pancakes
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup ground flax
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup 100% maple syrup
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1/2 cup apple chopped
Instructions
-
Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, flax, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
-
Mix together maple syrup, applesauce and milk in a separate bowl.
-
Pur milk mixture into flour mixture and stir until just combined being careful not to over mix. The batter will be thick.
-
Add chopped apples and stir to combine.
-
Preheat a greased griddle on medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes to get it hot. Place about 1/3 cup of batter onto hot griddle and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
-
Top with extra maple syrup and additional cinnamon and chopped apples if desired.
