Apple Pancakes
Stress. Yup, stress is officially the key work of the week. Everything’s blowing up a bit atm but we’re getting through it with the help of some amazing friends and (as always) lots of food. This recipe takes me back to the chilled few days when I was down in Devon walking the south west coastal path last month. We didn’t have access to big shops with lots of ingredients so instead I made simple dishes like these sweet apple pancakes with Greek yogurt.
My opinion of healthy pancakes fluctuates regularly. Some days I think they’re the key to all healthy eating and God’s gift to sweet toothed brunchers, and on other days I really can’t see the point as they essentially just take the best bits out of the pancake and replace them with ingredients more closely resembling gravel. That said these do have the element of feeling a little healthy due to the apple floating through the batter and make a great semi-low-sugar brunch to get your day started.
Recipes
Serves 2
Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 40g Self raising flour
- 1 Egg
- 20ml Milk
- 1 tsp Brown sugar
- ½ tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 Green apple
- 1 Red apple
- 1 Cal oil spray (or 1/2 tsp Sunflower oil)
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt to serve
- 2 tbsp Maple syrup to serve (optional)
Method
- Put the self raising flour into a bowl and make a well in the middle. Break in the egg and mix together. Then pour in the milk a litttle at a time to get a runny batter.
- Add the sugar and cinnamon to the mixture and stir these in. Then grate the apples into the batter and stir to combine (you can leave the skin on the apples to grate them if you want).
- Put a little oil into a large pan and use it to grease it. Then place it over a medium heat and leave for about a minute to warm up.
- Spoon blobs of the batter onto the pan (I got about 3 at once in mine) and fry until you can see the underside starting to cook through. Flip the pancakes over with a fish slice and fry again until golden brown.
- Put the cooked pancakes on a plate to one side and repeat with the rest of the batter. Serve warm with Greek yogurt and a little maple syrup.
