5 Minute Juicy Apple Pancakes

Serves 1–2

INGREDIENTS:

For the Pancakes:

1 medium apple , peeled, cored, and grated (about 1 cup)

1 large egg

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 tbsp sugar (optional, if you prefer sweeter pancakes)

Pinch of salt

Butter or oil , for cooking

Optional Toppings:

Maple syrup

Whipped cream

Chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work great!)

Extra cinnamon

DIRECTIONS:

Step 1: Mix the Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine the grated apple, egg, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, sugar (if using), and salt. Stir until just combined—the batter will be slightly lumpy, which is perfectly fine.

Step 2: Cook the Pancakes

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the skillet, spreading it slightly with the back of the spoon.

Cook for 1–2 minutes , or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes , until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 3: Serve

Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with your favorite toppings—drizzle with maple syrup, dollop with whipped cream, or sprinkle with extra cinnamon.
