Favorite Apple Cinnamon Pancakes
When it comes to breakfast foods, pancakes are where it’s at! They’re quick and easy to make, incredibly versatile, and easy to make for a crowd. My kids love them, and we make them frequently at our house. Pancakes are perfect for a quick dinner when you’re too tired to cook, or a fun weekend breakfast. We’ve tried a variety of delicious pancake recipes, from these lemon poppyseed pancakes, to these white chocolate berry pancakes, and today we are sharing a recipe for Apple Cinnamon Pancakes!
The lightly sweetened cinnamon batter is quick and easy to whip up, and I love the texture and flavor that the grated fresh apple adds. The pancakes cook quickly and get light and fluffy on the griddle. I can usually fit at least five pancakes on my griddle at a time, so I can have a pile of hot pancakes in only a few minutes. That works out perfectly for my ravenous family! ๐
How to Make Apple Cinnamon Pancakes:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In another small bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, and milk.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix gently until just barely combined (a few small lumps are okay). Gently fold in the grated apple.
- Preheat a griddle or frying pan to medium heat. Pour the batter by 1/4 cup scoops onto the hot griddle and cook 3-4 minutes, or until there are bubbles across the surface of the pancake. Flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Serve warm with butter and maple syrup, or whatever toppings you like! Enjoy!!
My favorite way to eat these pancakes is with butter and warm maple syrup on top. I also think they’d be great with homemade buttermilk syrup, or with apple butter spread on top. You really can’t go wrong!
This recipe would pair great with these other recipes:
- Homemade Buttermilk Syrupย (recipe at the bottom of the post)
- Healthy Egg Muffins
- Granola Parfaits

I appreciate you trying some ๐ Thank you so much!
Great recipe! I inadvertently added four tablespoons of cinnamon instead of just one (bad eyes). Actually came out fine! also, i used a red gala apple – suppose it doesn’t matter much. I noticed the color of the pancake was very dark. I blame the cinnamon!
LOl..well, I am glad you liked them! Yes, it can be any apple & the cinnamon would definitely make it darker ๐
