Apple pancakes by Elisabetta Sala
🍎 Nearly 40% of apples never make it to store shelves simply because they don’t meet strict standards for size, shape, or color. This means millions of perfectly good apples are wasted every year. To raise awareness about this issue, Food for Soul teamed up with Elisabetta Sala, who created a delicious and sustainable recipe to celebrate this versatile fruit. Her simple apple pancakes are not only quick and easy to make but also freezer-friendly ❄️—perfect for enjoying anytime.
Ingredients:
- 1 fresh apple, finely chopped or grated
- 1 cup of wholegrain flour
- 1 cup of oat milk (or regular milk, if you prefer)
- 1/2 sachet of baking powder
- A pinch of cinnamon, or more to taste
Method:
Grate the apple into a bowl and mix in a cup of milk. Sift the flour and baking powder into the mixture and stir well. Add a pinch of cinnamon and blend until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, adjusting with a touch more flour or milk if needed to get the right consistency.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and spoon in a small amount of batter. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and let it cook through for another minute or two.
Store the pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, or freeze them for up to three months—they’ll be just as good when you need them!
