Apple Cider Pancakes

Hey pancake lovers! If you’re looking for a warm and cozy breakfast treat that smells like fall and tastes like happiness, you have to try these Apple Cider Pancakes. They’re soft, fluffy, and full of yummy apple-cinnamon flavor. I made them with a mix of almond flour and gluten-free flour, so they’re super light and a little nutty too!

Let’s dive into this delicious, easy recipe you’ll want to make again and again.

Method

Mix the wet stuff

To start off, grab a large mixing bowl and crack in one egg. Pour in the apple cider, and then whisk them together until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy. This helps to evenly blend the egg with the liquid and gets your batter off to a good start.

Add the dry ingredients

Next, it’s time to stir in the dry ingredients. Begin by adding the almond flour, followed by the all-purpose flour (gluten-free if you’re using that), baking powder, granulated sugar (I used coconut sugar for a deeper, natural sweetness), and cinnamon. Stir gently until everything is combined. The batter should look smooth, but don’t worry if it has a few tiny lumps just avoid overmixing, as that can make the pancakes a bit dense instead of fluffy.

Scoop and cook

Now heat up a non-stick or greased skillet on low to medium heat. You want the pan to be warm but not smoking hot. This helps the pancakes cook evenly without burning the outside. Using a medium-sized ice cream scoop, scoop the batter and place it gently onto the skillet. This makes sure all your pancakes are the same size, which is great for even cooking (and makes your plate look extra pretty!).

Cook and flip

Let the pancakes cook on the first side for about 2 to 3 minutes. You’ll start to see little bubbles forming on the top of the pancake, and the edges will look slightly set this is your sign that it’s ready to flip. Use a spatula to carefully turn each pancake over, then cook for another 1 to 2 minutes on the other side. The pancakes should be golden brown and cooked through the middle. If you’re not sure, you can gently press the center; it should spring back slightly if done.

Serve and enjoy

Once all your pancakes are cooked, stack them up on a plate while they’re still warm. I topped mine with a little butter and a generous drizzle of Walden Farms Original Pancake Syrup, which added the perfect finishing touch. These are best served fresh, right off the skillet, but they also reheat well if you have leftovers just pop them in the toaster or microwave for a quick warm-up.
