If you need an idea for breakfast or a sweet snack, these juicy, small, plump pancakes should be your choice. In addition to being healthy, they are dominated by apples and cinnamon, a combination of those true autumn smells that we love to spread around the house.
Although these pancakes do not require any additions in terms of filling, because they are already so delicious on their own, you are free to spice them up. Here’s how to prepare them and enjoy them as soon as possible.
Step-by-Step Preparation for Fluffy Healthy Apple Pancakes
Making these apple pancakes is super simple, but to help you nail the perfect fluffy texture every time, here’s a clear, step-by-step guide:
Ingredients:
- 50 g wholemeal flour
- 50 g small rolled oats
- 2-3 apples
- milk
- 2 scoops of vanilla-flavored whey protein (order here)
- 1 egg
- a pinch of salt
- a teaspoon of cinnamon
- a teaspoon of baking powder
- water
Preparation
- Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients: wholemeal flour, oats, apples, milk, whey protein, egg, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and water.
Wash and peel your apples if you prefer a smoother texture, or leave the peel on for extra fiber and nutrients. - Step 2: Whisk the Base
Crack one egg into a medium-sized bowl.
Beat it lightly with a whisk or fork until smooth and frothy.
Add in all your dry ingredients: flour, oats, whey protein, cinnamon, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. - Step 3: Add the Apples
Grate 2–3 apples directly into the bowl with the egg and dry mixture.
Mix gently so the grated apple blends evenly throughout the batter. - Step 4: Adjust the Wet Ingredients
Slowly add a splash of milk and a little water.
Whisk until you get a thick, spreadable batter — thicker than regular pancake batter.
Be careful not to add too much liquid at once; the mixture should hold its shape on a spoon. - Step 5: Heat the Pan
Place a non-stick pan over low to medium heat.
Lightly grease with a drop of oil or a small amount of butter if needed. - Step 6: Shape the Pancakes
Spoon a small amount of batter onto the hot pan.
Use the back of the spoon to gently shape it into a small, round pancake — about finger-thick.
Keep them small for easier flipping and even cooking. - Step 7: Cook Until Golden
Let the pancake cook on low heat for about 1–2 minutes on each side.
Flip carefully once bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
Repeat with the rest of the batter. - Step 8: Serve and Enjoy
Stack the pancakes on a plate while they’re still warm.
Enjoy them plain, or add your favorite toppings like a drizzle of honey, yogurt, nut butter, or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon.
Be careful with adding water and milk to achieve the right thickness. Pour the mixture onto the heated pan and form a small pancake. Make them no thicker than a finger. Cook over low heat for a minute or two on each side.
