Ingredients
- – 1 small apple, peeled and chopped into 1″ pieces (Fuji, Braeburn, Honeycrisp, and Gala are a few good options)
- – 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (180g)
- – 30g unflavored protein powder
- – 2 tsp (10 ml) baking powder
- – 1 tsp (5 ml) cinnamon
- – 1/4 tsp (1 ml) salt
- – 180ml soy milk, or milk of choice
- – 60ml plain soy yogurt
- – 1 large egg
- – 1 tbsp (15 ml) vegetable oil
- – 1 tbsp (15 ml) good quality maple syrup
- – 1/2 tsp (3 ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place the diced apple pieces in a small dish suitable for the microwave. Cover it and heat for 2 to 3 minutes until they become soft. Drain any liquid and keep them aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt using a whisk until they are well mixed.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, soy yogurt, egg, vegetable oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Lightly coat the cooked apple pieces with some flour, then shake off any extra. Fold the apple chunks into the pancake mixture. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Warm a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. For each batch of pancakes, add some oil to ensure they cook to a golden brown on the outside while remaining soft inside.
- Using a ¼ cup, scoop the batter onto the hot surface. Once you see bubbles forming on the top, flip the pancakes and cook until both sides are fully done.
- Serve with your choice of toppings. Check the main recipe for delicious suggestions!
Notes
- Lightly coat apple chunks in flour before folding into pancake batter to prevent sinking while cooking.
- Allow pancake batter to rest for 5-10 minutes after adding apple pieces for a fluffier texture.
- Use a 1/4 cup measure for evenly sized pancakes and consistent cooking. Serve with maple syrup and soy yogurt for a delicious finish.
