Cinnamon Apple Pancakes

This morning my son and I were craving pancakes, but I wanted to make them with a twist. So I modified the pancake recipe I usually use in a few ways and came up with these yummy appley treats that taste a lot less healthy than they are.

What you need:

• 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk or sour milk
• 3 tbsp oil
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4-1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1-2  apples

What you do:

• mix wet ingredients
• add dry ingredients and mix
• peel apple and grate it into the batter
• fry on a skillet like normal pancakes

My tips:

• If you don't have buttermilk on hand, add a teaspoon or two of vinegar to the milk to sour it. Let it sit at least 5 minutes before adding anything else.
• If you want to, feel free to mix the dry ingredients in a seperate bowl before mixing them into the wet ingredients.
• For maximum apple flavor, I recommend two Granny Smith apples. If you only use one and/or use a milder flavored apple, you will hardly be able to taste the apple at all!
