Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

Apple & Cinnamon pancakes, ready to serve, with tender
Apple Slices and caramelized Cinnamon-Sugar

 These apple-cinnamon pancakes are simple to make and healthy, but at the same time festive and luxurious.

These are great to serve for a Christmas Eve Breakfast, since they are vegan, but still something special.

They were inspired by a non-vegan cookbook I read years ago (perhaps one of the Culinaria series - I cannot recall for sure), and I veganized them and adapted them to my whole wheat, low fat, vegan pancake mix.

First, Slice some apple wedges VERY THINLY, and get out your Cinnamon sugar (I keep some on hand all the time - 4 parts sugar to 1 part cinnamon in a shaker bottle.

Then, prepare the pancake mix, and pre-heat the skillet.
Vegan Pancake Mix

Pancake batter cooking in skillet, with Thinly Sliced Apples on
and Cinnamon Sugar on top.

Pour the batter into the skillet, as for any other pancakes (oil may be used if desired, but is not necessary in a non-stick skillet).

On top of the pancake batter, lay slices of apple in a single layer.

Sprinkle generously with Cinnamon-Sugar.

Cooking the Apple and Cinnamon Side.

Wait for bubbles to form, and for edges to dry slightly.


Flip, and cook the other side. Let them cook a little longer than you would with normal pancakes - this lets the Apple cook, and the Cinnamon-Sugar caramelize.

Remove from pan and serve.


These are sweet enough to serve without buttery-spread and syrup, but those things may be added if you like.

Vegan Pancake Mix Recipe

Saturday Mornings are a great time for pancakes! And, with an all-in-one mix in your pantry, it's easy to just add water or non-dairy milk, stir, and go.

Stuffedveggies Pancake & Waffle Mix

Mix in a labeled container. This recipe may be doubled if you have a larger family, or like to have pancakes often.

3 cups whole wheat pastry flour (also known as Graham flour) OR White Whole Wheat Flour*

1-3 tablespoons sugar (white, or raw/turbinado sugar)
1 Tablespoon arrowroot powder, tapioca starch, or cornstarch (acts as vegan egg-substitute for dry mixes)
1 Tablespoon + 2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt

*Note Edited in December 2014: For a long time, I only made this with Whole Wheat Pastry Flour, but then recently I couldn't get to my favorite specialty shop, and was forced to try subbing the White Whole Wheat Flour. To my delight, it worked as well or better than the Whole Wheat Pastry Flour. This is great because White Whole Wheat - while still 100% whole grain, is easier to find and cheaper! : ) Edited October 2019: Today I ran out of Whole Wheat flour, and used All Purpose (White) Flour. It worked just fine. So, if White is your preference, feel free to substitute

To make:

use ½ cup mix and ½ cup water or non-dairy milk

Pancake mix should be pourable - not too thick

We like blueberries in our pancakes - they can be added in while they're still frozen, if they're not in season.

Prepare on a nonstick skillet. Oil may be used for crispy edges, but also can be omitted if you prefer.

Turn the pancakes when there are bubbles covering the top, and the edges start to dry a bit.

We make these animal pancakes. They're supposed to be piggies, but this one looks more cow-like. Oops.

Lovely, golden brown pancakes.
