Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 8-10 pancakes
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup peeled and chopped apple (about 1 small or ½ a large apple)
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon, divided
  • ⅛ teaspoon plus a dash of allspice
  • ⅛ teaspoon plus a dash of nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk (I used 1%)
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • ¼ cup brown rice flour
  • ¼ cup potato starch
  • ¼ cup gluten free oat flour
  • 2 tablespoons tapioca starch
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions
  1. In a small microwave safe bowl combine chopped apple, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon, dash of allspice, dash of nutmeg, and lemon juice. Stir to coat all apples. Microwave for 1 minute and set aside to cool. Melt butter in a small separate bowl for 20-30 seconds and set aside to cool.
  2. Prepare pancake batter by whisking milk and eggs together in a medium sized mixing bowl. Add brown sugar and vanilla and mix until dissolved.
  3. In a separate smaller mixing bowl, sift together salt, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, coconut flour, brown rice flour, potato starch, oat flour, and tapioca starch.
  4. Add dry ingredients to milk mixture and mix until combined. Add melted butter and stir until smooth. Fold in cooked apple mixture.
  5. Heat skillet over medium low (4 out of 10) or griddle to 350 degrees. Spray with cooking spray or coat with melted butter. Drop batter ¼ cup at a time and cook for 3-4 minutes until edges are set and middle is bubbly. Flip and cook 2-3 minutes more until cooked through.
  6. Serve pancakes warm with desired toppings. Store extra in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer up to 3 months.
