Ingredients

  • 1 l/ 2 cup all-purpose flour (can sub 1/2 cup whole wheat flour or buckwheat flour)
  • 1 tablespoon raw sugar (I use turbinado)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 14 teaspoon salt
  • 1 12 cups almond milk
  • 12 cup apple juice
  • 3 tablespoons almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped roasted almonds

Method

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a blender, combine the milk, apple juice, almond butter, and vanilla and blend until smooth.
  • Pour into the flour mixture, stirring with a few swift strokes until just moist.
  • Fold in the chopped apple and almonds.
  • Preheat the oven to 200*F. Lightly oil a griddle or non- stick skillet and heat until hot.
  • Ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the griddle or skillet.
  • Cook on one side until small bubbles appear on the top of the pancakes, about 2 minutes.
  • Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook until the second side is lightly browned, about 1 minute longer.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Keep the cooked pancakes warm in the oven while preparing the remaining pancakes.
