What You’ll Need:

2 medium apples, thinly sliced
2 tsp coconut oil or avocado oil
2 tbsp coconut sugar or maple syrup
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (or almond flour)
1/4 cup arrowroot powder or tapioca starch
1/2 tsp baking powder (gluten-free)
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup plant-based milk (e.g., almond, oat, or coconut milk)
2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce (acts as egg replacer)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: crushed nuts or granola for topping

Prepration for:Apple-Cinnamon Skillet Pancake (Gluten-Free, Soy-Free, Dairy-Free)

Step 1/5

Preheat the Skillet: Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat and add 1 tsp oil. Add the apple slices, cinnamon, nutmeg, and coconut sugar. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 2/5

Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, arrowroot, baking powder, and salt. Add the plant-based milk, applesauce, and vanilla. Stir until smooth.

Step 3/5

Combine: Pour the batter over the sautéed apples in the skillet. Spread it evenly using a spatula. Cover with a lid and cook on low-medium heat for about 10–12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is firm.

Step 4/5

Optional Flip: If you’re confident, flip the pancake to brown the other side for 2 minutes—or finish it under a broiler for a lightly crisped top.

Step 5/5

Serve: Slide onto a plate, slice, and serve warm. Top with a sprinkle of granola or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Chef's Tips & Notes

Notes: For added sweetness, sprinkle coconut sugar or crushed pecans on top before serving. Add shredded carrot for a twist (like in the image above—great texture!).
