Why High-Protein Apple Pancakes?

These pancakes combine fluffy texture with the sweetness of thinly sliced apples in every bite. They're an ideal breakfast to keep you feeling full and energized. The use of Janie's Mill flour brings quality and nutrition straight from a sustainable local source, in line with our commitment to real food from happy, local farms.

Ingredients You'll Need:

1 cup high-protein flour (Janie's Mill)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
3 eggs
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 apples, thinly sliced lengthwise and cored
Butter or local oil for greasing the skillet

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Prepare the Batter: Start by whisking together the high-protein flour and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add in the almond milk and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Combine: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be thick to hold up the apple slices.
Add Apples: Dip the apple slices into the batter one by one to ensure each piece is coated.
Cook: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Place the apple-coated batter in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Top It Your Way:

Enhance your breakfast by adding a sprinkle of cinnamon, a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra protein, or a drizzle of almond butter for a touch of richness.
