Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup grated apple (about 1 medium apple)
1 tablespoon melted coconut oil (plus more for cooking)
Instructions:
Prepare the Batter:
In a small bowl, mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes to create a buttermilk effect.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Add the almond milk mixture, maple syrup, vanilla extract, grated apple, and melted coconut oil. Stir until just combined.
Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil.
Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Serve & Enjoy:
Stack the pancakes and serve with extra maple syrup, apple slices, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Enjoy warm and savor the cozy flavors!

The Importance of Each Ingredient
All-Purpose Flour: The base of the pancakes, providing structure and fluffiness.
Baking Powder & Baking Soda: Helps the pancakes rise and become light and airy.
Cinnamon: Adds warmth and enhances the apple flavor.
Salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances overall flavor.
Almond Milk: A dairy-free liquid base that keeps the pancakes soft.
Apple Cider Vinegar: Reacts with baking soda to create fluffier pancakes.
Maple Syrup: A natural sweetener that pairs perfectly with cinnamon and apples.
Vanilla Extract: Adds depth of flavor and a comforting aroma.
Grated Apple: Provides natural sweetness and moisture, making the pancakes extra delicious.
Coconut Oil: Adds richness and prevents sticking while cooking.
Baking Tips for the Best Pancakes
Use a Non-Stick Pan: This prevents the pancakes from sticking and ensures even cooking.
Don’t Overmix the Batter: A few lumps are okay; overmixing can make the pancakes dense.
Let the Batter Rest: Letting it sit for 5 minutes helps the ingredients meld and creates a fluffier texture.
Cook on Medium Heat: Too high, and they’ll burn; too low, and they won’t cook through.
Flip When Bubbles Form: Wait until bubbles appear on the surface before flipping for perfect golden pancakes.
