- 40g (¼ cup) Raisins
- 2 Apples, finely chopped (roughly 0.5cm cubed) I used Pink Lady
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 teaspoon Coconut Oil * can substitute with butter
- 60g (½ cup) Plain (all purpose) Flour * SEE NOTE 1
- 60g (½ cup) Wholemeal (wholewheat) Flour * SEE NOTE 1
- 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 180ml (¾ cup) Milk
- 1 Egg
Place the raisins in a small bowl and soak with boiling water. (SEE NOTE 2)
Heat a nonstick skillet over a medium heat and add one teaspoon of the coconut oil (or butter). Add the chopped apple and cinnamon, reduce the heat, and saute until soft, around 3 mins. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl combine the flours and baking powder. In a separate bowl mix together the egg and milk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir. Don't over mix, a few small and medium lumps are fine.
Drain the raisins and add to the pancake batter along with the sauteed apples. Stir until just combined.
Heat a nonstick skillet on a medium heat (SEE NOTE 3) and brush with coconut oil/butter. Add tablespoons of the mixture into the pan, I did 4 at a time.
When bubbles rise to the surface, flip and cook the other side until golden.
Repeat until the mixture is finished.
- Depending on what your family is used to you can alter the ratio of the flours. If using all wholemeal you may find the pancakes a little heavy /dense. You may also find you may need to add a little more milk. Please refer to shot of batter above to see right consistency.
- This step is optional but I love how plump and moist the raisins become when soaked. They taste great in the pancakes.
- The trick to making good pancakes is to get the temperature right. This will vary depending on the stove. Make a small test pancake first to check the temperature. If the outside is scorched and the inside is still raw then turn down the heat.
Making for a baby: If making for a baby either grate the apple or make sure the apple pieces are chopped small and cooked until very soft.
