Calories: 249kcal
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour (note 1)
- ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Apple Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Add-ons - optional
- 2 tablespoons Shredded Apples or finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
Serving
- 1 tablespoon Caramel Sauce
Instructions
- Select a 12-oz microwave-safe tall coffee mug to make sure the batter won't overflow when baking.
- In the microwave-safe mug, whisk the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon (if used).
- Stir in liquid ingredients: almond milk, apple sauce, and vanilla extract. Combine until light and runny with no lumps.
- Fold in shredded apples and stir to combine.
- Microwave at 900W for 90 seconds in the center of the microwave. If you are not sure what the power of your microwave is, start with 60 seconds and repeat microwaving in 10-second bursts until most and set in the center.
- Cool for a few seconds, then serve it with caramel sauce or peanut butter, a dust of extra cinnamon, and chopped peanuts.
Notes
Note 1: All-purpose gluten-free flour with added gums works as a 1:1 ratio to replace wheat flour. However, the pancake will be much denser and chewy with gluten-free flour.
The recipe doesn't work with almond flour or coconut flour.
