Just made these this morning, they were so tasty! The sweetness of the apples combined with the salty turkey bacon, and warm cinnamon & nutmeg, make for a filling and satisfactory breakfast :) Ingredients:
2 golden delicious apples, diced (save a few thin slices for garnish) |
6 strips turkey bacon |
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 tbsp baking powder |
1 tbsp cinnamon, plus more for garnish |
1 tsp nutmeg |
1 tsp salt |
1 egg |
1 & 1/4 cups vanilla almond milk |
1/4 cup maple syrup, divided into 1/8 cups (plus more for garnish) |
1/4 cup canola oil, plus more for greasing pan & griddle |
Directions:
1. In a large heavy pan or skillet, cook bacon until crispy, then remove to a paper towel. Crumble when cooled.
2. Heat a small amount of canola oil in the pan, and add the diced apples. Sprinkle with the cinnamon & nutmeg, then drizzle with 1/8 cup of the maple syrup. Stir and cook until apples are translucent (about 5 minutes).
3. Transfer apples to a food processor and pulse until desired consistency (pulse more for a smooth consistency; pulse less for a chunky consistency- if you would like more texture in your pancakes).
4. In a large bowl, beat the egg and whisk in the almond milk, canola oil, and the rest of the maple syrup. Add the pureed apples.
5. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
6. Add dry ingredients to the large bowl, stir until just mixed. Fold in the crumbled bacon.
7. Heat the griddle on medium; grease with a bit of canola oil (I spread it around quickly with a paper towel).
8. Ladle about 1/3 cup of the batter onto the griddle at a time, spreading them into 1/2 thick inch circles with the bottom of a spoon, measuring up, etc. Spread them out (I only do two at a time). They are ready to flip when bubbles form all over the top of the pancakes. The second side will only take a minute.
9. Meanwhile, heat a tad more oil in the pan, and add your apple slices. Sprinkle with cinnamon on each side, and cook until golden and translucent.
10. Serve pancakes hot topped with the apple slices and maple syrup!
