Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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. 

Notes

  1. 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.
  2. This step is optional but I love how plump and moist the raisins become when soaked. They taste great in the pancakes. 
  3.  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.
