Ingredients
Apple Pie Pancakes
- 2 cups buckwheat flour
- ½ TBSP baking powder
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 1 TBSP No Sugar Added SunButter
- 1 15-oz can coconut milk lite
- 4 tsp lemon juice
- 2 TBSP pure maple syrup
- Splash of almond milk
- Avocado oil, for the skillet
Apple Pie Compote
- 1 TBSP coconut oil
- 4 large apples, any color, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 lemon, squeezed
- 1–2 tsp maple syrup
- pinch of cinnamon
Optional toppings
- No Sugar Added SunButter
- Apple Pie Compote (recipe above)
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- First, prepare your apple compote. Heat a pan over medium heat with coconut oil. When the coconut oil is melted, add the diced apple to the pan and drizzle with lemon juice, maple syrup, and cinnamon and mix to combine and coat. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring often, until the apples are soft, fragrant, and tender. Set aside.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon together in a large mixing bowl until they’re well-combined. Add in the apple sauce, SunButter, coconut milk lite, lemon juice, and maple syrup. Stir everything well to combine the wet and dry ingredients. The batter should be thick and smooth. Add a splash of almond milk if you need to thin the batter a little. Thicker batter will lead to fluffier pancakes and thinner batter will yield thinner wider pancakes. Allow the batter to sit for ~5-8 minutes while you heat the skillet.
- Add a generous drizzle of avocado oil to a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is warm, drop the batter in ~¼ cup amounts into the skillet. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a circle.
- Heat the pancakes for 4-5 minutes on the first side, or until the edges start to brown and little bubbles appear on the surface. At this point, flip the pancakes and heat for an additional 2-3 minutes on the second side. The second side will cook faster!
- Serve the pancakes warm with optional toppings, like SunButter, apple pie compote, and maple syrup. Cook until all of the batter is used up. Store any leftover cooked and cooled pancakes in an airtight ziplock bag in the freezer for several months and microwave before serving.
