Ingredients
for the apple cider donut pancakes
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1 3/4 cup apple cider
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
for the cinnamon sugar coating
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
for the cooked apples
- 2 large apples (any kind!), cored and peeled and chopped up
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a medium bowl combine eggs, melted butter, apple cider, and sugar whisking until combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together. Incorporate into wet ingredients, stirring only until combined. Let the batter sit for ten minutes to thicken.
- While the batter thickens, cook the chopped apples, cinnamon, and sugar over medium heat, stirring frequently until the apples are soft and tender. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, prep the cinnamon sugar, combining the sugar and cinnamon. Transfer to a large shallow bowl or to a plate.
- When you are ready to cook your pancakes, heat a large skillet or griddle on medium heat.
- Once griddle is hot, liberally grease with oil or butter (about 1 tablespoon per 3 pancakes). Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto surface. Cook on one side until holes form around edges, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook on other side for additional 1-2 minutes. Don’t let the pan get too hot– you want a nice, even heat.
- Place each hot pancake in the cinnamon sugar, flipping over to coat the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve with a simple powdered sugar glaze, cooked apples, and a healthy dose of maple syrup! The options are endless!
