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.

An apple, two cinnamon sticks, and a couple of nutmegs on a wooden surface.

What’s in Whole Grain Apple Spice Pancakes?

  • Whole wheat flour
  • Ground flax seed
  • Cinnamon and nutmeg
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Egg, oil, milk
  • Apples

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.
