I just made up a really yummy apple pancake recipe. OMG!! YUM!!
Healthier Apple Pancakes
1 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour ( I like this flour because it has Whole Wheat grain but the kids still like it)
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk (2% is what I used)
2 TBSP honey
1 shredded, cored apple ( I used Granny Smith and I keep the skins on but if you don't like them, take them off. LOL)
In one bowl mix dry ingredients together. Beat eggs in another bowl for a minute or so, add milk and honey. Beat all three for about a minute. Add dry ingredients to the bowl with wet ingredients and use electric mixer to mix them just until they are all mixed together. Don't over mix. Stir in shredded apples. In my personal opinion using an electric griddle is the best way to make pancakes but mine is buried in my garage so I just used a large frying pan on medium-ish heat. I used Pam spray on it before adding the batter. On my stove I set the heat just past the halfway point. These pancakes need to be flipped before the bubbles start to stay broken, unlike regular pancakes. They are darker in color and it is harder to tell when to flip. I learned the hard way that waiting until the bubbles are broken makes for a crisper pancake. :)
I, of course, made them unhealthy by adding butter and syrup, but isn't that what you are supposed to do? At any rate, they are really good. My litte taste testers liked them and they loved helping me make them. My son is, more or less, obsessed with breaking eggs. He is actually pretty good at it. He doesn't get the shells in very often. Quite often I find cracked eggs in the trash and sink from when he has practiced his skills. HEHE! Gotta love two year old boys.
