Description
These Cinnamon-Apple Pancakes with Maple Butter transform ordinary mornings into something special. Enjoy fluffy texture and the incredible aroma of warm apples and cinnamon filling your kitchen, perfect for a comforting family breakfast.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups milk
- 4 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced
- maple syrup, for serving
- 0.25 cup softened butter (for maple butter)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (for maple butter)
Instructions
- Prep Your Apples: Peel, core, and finely dice your apples (about 5 minutes).
- Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk well.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Mix Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined (do not overmix!). Fold in the diced apples.
- Heat Griddle: Heat a lightly greased griddle or a 10-inch non-stick pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about 0.25 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and bubbles form, then flip and cook through.
- Make Maple Butter: While pancakes cook, whip softened butter with a tablespoon of maple syrup until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Notes
Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough pancakes; a few lumps are fine. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking for extra fluffiness. Maintain consistent medium heat for even browning. If batter is too thick, add 1-2 Tbsp additional milk. Keep cooked pancakes warm on a baking sheet in a 200°F (95°C) oven while finishing the batch.
