Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 eggs
- 3 tbsp, melted unsalted butter
- 1, peeled and diced into 1/4-inch cubes apples
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until no lumps remain.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat milk, eggs, and melted butter until fully combined, then pour into dry ingredients. Fold in diced apples until evenly distributed.
- Step 3: Heat a lightly greased griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the griddle, spacing them 1 inch apart.
- Step 4: Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Step 5: For maple syrup, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add maple syrup and brown sugar, stirring until dissolved. Stir in cinnamon, then remove from heat.
- Step 6: Serve pancakes warm with a generous drizzle of maple syrup, ensuring each pancake has a visible apple piece on top.
