We went apple picking over the weekend with our sweet friend, Bryana, at a beautiful farm here in Maryland and ended up with 46 pounds of apples! We apparently suck at guessing weight because we thought we had less than 20. Whoops!
This little man clearly loves apples so we're happy we picked so much. I've been trolling Pinterest for apple recipes and stumbled upon this recipe from SmittenKitchen, one of my favorite food blogs, which I made some changes to for our breakfast this morning.
These pancakes are pretty frickin' delicious.
2 eggs, well beaten
2 cups vanilla soy milk
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground cloves
3 apples, coarsely grated (I used Braeburn, leave the peels on for extra fiber!)
Butter or vegetable oil for frying
Topping Options (Try 1 or several!):
Maple syrup
Crumbled bacon
Applesauce
Confectioner’s sugar
1. Mix the eggs with the soy milk in a large bowl.
2. In a smaller bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves together.
3. Combine the wet and the dry ingredients
4. Stir in the apples.
5. Heat a tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Drop batter by the 1/4 cup full onto the skillet and cook until the edges appear to be cooked. Flip the pancakes and cook them for an additional two minutes.
6. Serve with your favorite topping. Enjoy!
Makes about 16 pancakes.
