Description

Fluffy and wholesome apple and cinnamon barley pancakes that combine the nutty flavor of cooked barley with sweet apples and warm cinnamon spices. These pancakes provide a nutritious and delicious twist to your classic breakfast, perfect for a comforting morning meal.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or honey
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked barley
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup grated apple

For Cooking

  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar or honey, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the leavening and spices.
  2. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Add Barley and Apple: Stir the cooked barley and grated apple into the wet ingredient mixture, incorporating the textures and flavors evenly.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients. Gently fold them together until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
  5. Heat Skillet: Preheat a lightly greased skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
  6. Cook Pancakes: Pour small portions of the batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
  7. Serve: Serve the pancakes warm, ideally with maple syrup or honey drizzled over the top for extra sweetness and flavor.

Notes

  • Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans, or raisins for extra texture and flavor.
  • Use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour for a healthier, whole grain option.
