Cinnamon Apple Pancakes are warm, fluffy, and full of fall flavor, featuring tender apples and a touch of cinnamon in every bite. They’re quick to make and perfect for cozy breakfasts, brunches, or weekend treats.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and finely diced or grated
  • Butter or oil for cooking
  • Optional toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, yogurt, toasted nuts

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, maple syrup (or sugar), and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir just until combined—do not overmix.
  4. Fold in the diced or grated apple.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form and edges are set, about 2–3 minutes.
  7. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
  9. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sauté the apples in butter and cinnamon before adding to the batter.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Use gluten-free flour or flax eggs and plant milk to adapt for dietary needs.
  • Make mini pancakes for kids or brunch platters.
