It is finally here! July. Pancake month. Are you prepared for a WHOLE MONTH of pancake recipes? I’m talking every. single. day.

I’m kicking it off with these Apple Spice Pancakes, a filling and nutritious pancake. It reminds you of a fall day with the flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and apples, but is perfect any time of the year.

I love topping these pancakes with Greek yogurt mixed with a bit of cinnamon, but they would also be great with warm applesauce, maple syrup, or  just a dab of butter.

Hearty whole grain apple spice pancakes make a nutritious and delicious breakfast. Filled with chunky apples and lots of cinnamon and spice!

Ingredients

• ▢ 1 cup whole wheat flour
• ▢ ¼ cup ground flax seed
• ▢ 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ▢ ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (or ground nutmeg)
• ▢ 6 teaspoons baking powder
• ▢ 1 teaspoon salt
• ▢ 1 tablespoon canola oil
• ▢ 1 large egg
• ▢ 1 ½ cups milk
• ▢ 1-2 cups chopped, peeled apples
• ▢ vanilla Greek yogurt, applesauce or syrup (optional, for topping)

Instructions

• Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• In small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and oil until combined. Add to dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not over mix--that will result in tough pancakes.
• Heat a griddle over medium heat. Drop batter (approximately ¼ to ½ cup for each pancake) onto hot skillet. Sprinkle apples onto pancake. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until bubbles form and do not pop. Flip pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
• Enjoy hot with maple syrup, warm applesauce, or Greek yogurt flavored with cinnamon. Don't forget that whipped cream is always an option (a very good one!) as well.

Notes

• This makes a lot of pancakes, probably around 20-24 depending on the size. The recipe is easy to cut in half if you are preparing them for a smaller crowd.
• The smaller you chop/dice the apples, the softer they will be.
