The apple and cinnamon pancakes are delicious treats perfect for breakfast or a snack, served with a cup of tea or coffee. They are simply a variant of the classic quick pancakes, enriched with apple pieces and cinnamon powder in the batter. Soft and quick to prepare, these pancakes won me over instantly! Maybe it’s because I love the combination of apples and cinnamon, but they are truly delicious and light since they are butter-free.
They are made with eggs, milk, flour, apples, and cinnamon powder, with a pinch of baking powder to make them soft. The batter is mixed with a hand whisk or a fork, and then cooked in a pan, pouring one spoonful of mixture at a time. Serve and enjoy with jam, maple syrup, or simply as I preferred with a dusting of powdered sugar. Now let’s head to the kitchen, because the apple and cinnamon pancakes will be ready in a click!

Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 3.2 oz milk
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/5 cup sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 apple
- cinnamon powder (to taste)
Tools
- Pan
- Hand Whisk
- Mixing Bowl
- Cutting Board
- Knife
Steps
First, place the egg in a mixing bowl with the sugar and milk and mix with a hand whisk until all the ingredients are well combined. Then add the flour, cinnamon, and baking powder and continue to mix with the whisk until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
Separately, prepare an apple: peel it, remove the core, and cut it into very small cubes. It is important that they are small so they can cook perfectly. Alternatively, you can also grate it if you prefer. Add the apple pieces to the batter and stir with a spoon so they blend into the mixture.
Separately, heat a non-stick pan and pour a couple of tablespoons of batter, trying to spread it slightly. As soon as bubbles form, use a spatula to flip the pancake and cook on the other side. They should cook for 2 or 3 minutes on each side over low heat.
The apple and cinnamon pancakes are ready! Serve them with jam, maple syrup, or simply with a dusting of powdered sugar.
