Apple and Cinnamon Pancakes Recipe

These Apple and Cinnamon Pancakes turn a breakfast classic into a cozy treat you’ll crave any time of day. Made with sweet apples, warm cinnamon, and rich brown sugar for a hint of caramel flavor, they’re light, fluffy, and naturally higher in fiber than traditional pancakes. The perfect fall breakfast—or even breakfast for dinner!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar firmly packed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 cup shredded apples about 1 ½ small
  • butter or nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  • Combine the wet ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
    1 cup milk, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Combine the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon.

  • Cook the pancakes: Lightly coat a griddle or nonstick skillet with cooking spray or butter. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle or large skillet and cook until the edges look set. Flip and cook until golden brown, about 2–4 minutes per side.

Notes

I I use a ceramic non-stick electric griddle, so I don’t need to add anything and the pancakes won’t stick. Use whatever is necessary for your cooking surface — non-stick cooking spray or a little butter — to ensure your pancakes cook perfectly without sticking.
Mix the pancake batter first thing and let it rest while your griddle or skillet heats up.
