Making apple pancakes is easy and fast. For the full instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom.

Substitutions

These pancakes are filled with apple flavour. They have grated apple in the batter and as a wonderful apple topping.

• Apples – I used gala apples for this recipe because they are sweet and juicy. Some other great options are Fuji, Honeycrisp, Red Delicious, or Golden Delicious. Feel free to use your favourite.
• Gluten-free – use gluten free flour instead all purpose flour for gluten-free pancakes.
• Apple topping – Instead on the apple topping, these vegan apple pancakes can also be served with this homemade Apple Pie Chia Jam.

Storage

If you have any leftover pancakes or made a double batch for meal prep, let hem cool down completely. Pack them in an airtight container. Store any leftover apple topping in a separate airtight container.

They can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.

You can also freeze them for longer. I like to separate them with a pice of parchment paper or plastic wrap and then place them in an airtight container. This makes it easier to take out just one one or two pancakes at the time. For leftover apple topping, let it cool down completely and then place it in an airtight container. Store the pancakes and toppings in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Another great vegan pancake recipe that freezes well are these Vegan Cinnamon roll Pancakes.

Reheating

There are 3 good ways of reheating these pancakes.

• Microwave – Heat them on a microwave safe plate for 30 sec at a time. Heat the apple topping the same way in a separate bowl. Top the pancakes with the apples and enjoy.
• Toaster – Pop the pancakes in the toaster and use the reheat option if you have one. Otherwise heat on low heat until just warmed through. Heat the apple topping in the microwave and serve with the pancakes.
• Oven – Preheat the oven to 175C (350F)Place the pancakes in a single layer on a baking tray. Cover them with a pice of foil and reheat them in the oven for about four minutes. Reheat the apple topping in a small bowl in the microwave.

Another one of my favorit vegan pancake recipes are these Blood Orange Vegan Pancakes.

Top tip

Don’t over mix the pancake batter, this would make the pancakes dense and you don’t want that!
