These pancakes combine fluffy texture with crunchy granola and warm apple notes, creating a cozy and comforting breakfast perfect for any morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk, whole or 2% (almond or oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large apple, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
  • ¾ cup (90 g) granola

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract; whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; lumps are okay.
  4. Fold in the diced apple until evenly distributed. If batter is too thick, add a splash more milk.
  5. Gently fold in the granola to retain crunch.
  6. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  7. Pour about ¼ cup (60 ml) batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
  9. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while cooking remaining batter.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Fold granola in last to maintain crunch. Use medium heat to avoid burning. Peeling apples avoids bitterness but keeping skin adds rustic texture. Batter can be prepped night before without apples and granola for convenience.
