Ingredients
Scale
Whole Wheat Pancakes:
- 1 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1 egg
- 1 1/4 cup 2% milk
- 1 1/2 tablespoons raw honey
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Apple Cinnamon Compote:
- 2 apples, peeled and thinly sliced (I used honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoon raw honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Heat medium skillet to medium high heat, add 2 tablespoons of butter and apples. Stir until butter is melted.
- Add in honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir and saute apples until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Turn heat off and set aside.
- In a bowl, add white whole white flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pecans. Mix together. Add in egg, milk, 1 1/2 tablespoons honey, and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Mix together until completely combined.
- Heat large skillet to medium high heat. Spray for cooking spray. Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto skillet for each pancake.
- Cook each side for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly browned.
- Repeat process until batter is gone.
- Top pancakes with cinnamon apple compote. Serve with honey or maple syrup.
Notes
- To store. I like to keep any leftover pancakes for the next day in a plastic bag in the fridge. When I’m ready to eat them again, I usually pop them in the toaster for a quick and easy reheat.
- To freeze. I recommend flash-freezing the pancakes first. That means freezing them while they are laying flat on a sheet tray for about 30 minutes. Then they will harden and you can easily store them together in a plastic bag in the freezer. Whole wheat pancakes will last for up to three months this way.
