Apple Cinnamon Pancake in a Pan

Pancakes seem to always win the favourite breakfast vote in my kitchen. The recipe sharing groups that I’m part of, have recently posted varying versions of making large sheet pancakes that are great for sharing. Baking the pancake batter in a flat pan saves time and effort required for traditional pancakes, making sure everyone gets to eat at the same time.

This Apple Cinnamon Pancake in a pan is my version using a healthier base – Wholemeal self raising flour, no oil and full of apple and cinnamon goodness. This recipe is,

• full of whole grain
• sugar free
• nut free
• oil free.
• Use your favourite self raising gluten-free flour blend to make this recipe gluten-free.

We need,

1 cup Wholemeal Self Raising Flour

3/4 cup Apples, diced finely (I used green Granny Smith apples, but any firm cooking apples will work)

1 cup Oat Milk (substitute with a non dairy milk of choice)

1.5 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar

1 cup Water

2 tablespoons Xylitol

1 teaspoon Cinnamon Powder, heaped

To make,

In a large bowl, whisk the oat milk and vinegar together, set aside.

Heat up the oven to 180 degrees C on the fan forced setting.

Spray a large flat pan (needs sides, cookie trays will not work) with non stick spray, or line with baking paper.

Add in the water, Xylitol and cinnamon to the large mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.

Fold the Wholemeal self raising flour into the above liquid mixture.

Mix in the diced apple pieces.

Pour into the prepared flat pan and bake in a hot oven for 20 to 25 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.

Bake until a skewer inserted comes out clean and the surface looks dry.

Sprinkle more Xylitol and cinnamon mixed with a tablespoon of water on top if desired.

Cool for about 5 to minutes and cut into large squares.

Serve with maple syrup, apple sauce or coconut yogurt for a healthy breakfast treat!
