Apple Fritter Pancakes

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Apple Fritter Pancakes | Vegan friendly and free of dairy, eggs, and refined sugar with gluten-free option.
Apple-y desserts are my husband’s favorite. I like the flavor of apple too, although I prefer chocolate;) Being the great loving wife that I am though, I try to make them for him often:)

I make apple pie once in a while, but it takes quite a bit of time to make. You have to make the dough, let it chill in the fridge, peel and slice a bajillion apples, roll out the dough, put it in the pan, crimp the edges, etc… and if that didn’t take up enough time, then you have to wait over an hour for it to cook in the oven! Talk about torture!! I must admit, I am not the most patient of people. I believe the sooner things are ready to eat, the better.

These pancakes are probably the fastest of of them all, taking less than 20 minutes to throw together and cook. Now, that’s what I’m talking about!

I made these “fritter” pancakes mildly sweet, since most people like to top their pancakes with syrup or powdered sugar anyway. However you want to top them, you’re sure to enjoy the warm, crispy outside and fluffy, apple-filled center. They’re the perfect warm treat to enjoy during those chilly, fall mornings.

Description

Combine breakfast & dessert with these apple fritter pancakes! Juicy apples and the warm flavor of cinnamon are abundant in this delicious breakfast treat!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups regular or gluten-free all-purpose flour I use King Arthur or Glutino
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/3 cup almond milk or other milk of choice (a splash more may be needed)
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil or other oil of choice, plus more for pan
  • 2 cups apples (about 2–3 apples), peeled and chopped small (Gala or Granny Smith work well)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Add milk, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil and stir just until combined. Gently fold in chopped apples. Batter should be thick (like in the photo above) but if it is too thick to stir, just add a splash more milk.
  2. Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. When oil is melted and pan is hot, pour batter by the 1/4 cupfuls into the pan. If necessary, use your spatula or a spoon to gently spread dough into a round pancake, so it cooks evenly. Cook about 1-2 minutes per side. Turn down the heat and cover the pan with a lid, if pancakes are browning too fast or not cooking in the middle.
  3. Remove when lightly browned and center is cooked. Continue to cook in batches until all the batter is used up, adding more oil to the pan when needed.
  4. If desired, top pancakes with a dusting of powdered sugar or maple syrup. Makes 10-12 pancakes

    Wow what incredible photo skills you got my friend. You are awesome!! I’m so happy you did apple version and it was great inspiration. I usually use blueberries, but this season I had a large amount of apples to use quickly and these pancakes were so yummy, and tasty. I didn’t even have any leftovers because kids just ate them up so quickly Thank you for giving us such sweet inspiring ideas and making recipes so easy and healthy.

    I love apple in desserts too! But I’m definitely with you on the chocolate thing, I’m such a chocoholic hehehe! These look sooooo delicious. I am obsessed with apple fritters, and I always make them in Autumn when our trees are filled with apples. I can’t wait to try these!

      I’m so very sorry, Minna! I know, that has to be so hard during this season especially! If only they had a magic pill, like they do for dairy, lol! Maybe there is another fruit, like pears (unless you’re allergic to those too!) that you could use in place of apples in all these fall recipes..We need to think of a creative solution to combat all these fruit allergies!! 😉

    Love your idea! I do love making pies and I know its painstakingly long haha!! This is a great idea to incorporate the apples into pancakes! What a delicious breakfast :).

      Thanks, Amisha! I do make pies every once in a while, but it typically has to be a special occasion, haha!! I think it’d be much easier if I used store-bought crust, but I’m too stubborn and always make my own! 😉 These were the best of both dessert and breakfast, plus my hubby was happy.. Perfect treat for the fall too! 🙂
