Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

This recipe is also courtesy of Elijah (Thanks, buddy!). It's from dairygoodness.ca and is pretty darn delicious!

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

3 eggs

2 1/2 cups milk

1/4 cup butter, melted

2 tbsp pure maple syrup or packed brown sugar

1 1/2 cups shredded apple (about 2 large apples)

2 tbsp butter (for cooking)

Directions

1. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together wet ingredients (exluding the apples and the 2 tbsp of butter).
3. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients.
4. Add apples and stir until combined.
5. Heat a nonstick skillet and cover pan with a thin layer of butter.
6. Scoop approximately 1/3 cup of batter per pancake.
7. Cook for 2 min, or until bubbles break on the surface and do not fill in.
8. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes or so.
9. Serve with maple syrup or whipped cream... or both!

Notes

I have a few notes about this recipe.

• First of all - it makes a lot of pancakes! This batch made about 12 or 14 pancakes with a 15cm diameter. You can freeze them though, so leftovers aren't a bad thing!
• I think the recipe could use more cinnamon. I grated an entire 3 inch stick of cinnamon and still felt they could have been spicier.
• Also, I didn't have pure maple syrup or brown sugar, so I used Aunt Jemima maple syrup. The pancakes still tasted great, but I bet the real stuff would've been even better!
