Ingredients

For the Pancakes:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)

• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 large egg

• 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

• 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and finely diced or thinly sliced

• 2 tablespoons Activated Phenolics Powder

For Topping (optional):

• Maple syrup

• Fresh fruit (such as sliced apples or berries)

• Powdered sugar

• Yogurt or whipped cream

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:

   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar (if using), baking powder, and salt.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:

   • In another bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract. Mix well.

3. Combine and Add Apple:

   • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy, which is fine.

   • Gently fold in the finely diced or thinly sliced apple and Activated Phenolics Powder until evenly distributed.

4. Cook the Pancakes:

   • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.

   • For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.

5. Serve:

   • Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

6. Add Toppings:

   • Serve the apple pancakes warm with your choice of toppings. Drizzle with maple syrup, and top with fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or a dollop of yogurt or whipped cream (weekend version!) if desired.
