Low calorie apple pancakes
Nothing screams cozy, autumnal Sunday breakfast like these low calorie apple pancakes! This recipe features the softest, fluffiest low calorie pancakes topped with a perfectly spiced apple pie filling. So you can have apple pie for breakfast for just 295 calories!
Ingredients
Pancake batter:
- 1 egg
- 10 g stevia*
- 25 ml unsweetened almond milk*
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 50 g self-raising flour*
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Apple topping:
- 85 g (medium) apple, diced
- 30 g 0 calorie brown sugar*
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp ground ginger
- ⅛ tsp mixed spice
Instructions
- Dice the apple into small chunks and place in a small saucepan. Add the 0 calorie brown sugar or granulated sweetener, lemon juice, spices and water, mix to combine. Set over low heat and cover.
- Allow to simmer for 10 minutes or until most of the water has evaporated and the apple chunks are soft. Set aside, covered.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and stevia until light and fluffy. Add the milk and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.
- Add the flour, baking powder and cinnamon and whisk to combine.
- Set a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat, scoop 1/4 of the batter for each pancake and pour over the warm frying pan. I was able to cook all 4 pancakes at once using a large frying pan. You can cook as many pancakes at once as you can fit in your pan.
- Flip the pancakes once bubbles form on the surface and the edges look done. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
- Stack the pancakes onto a plate, top with the apple topping and enjoy!
Notes
*Stevia - Can be subbed for any granulated 0 calorie sweetener. The stevia I used is a 1:2 ratio of stevia to sugar so adjust accordingly.
*Unsweetened almond milk - Can be subbed for any milk but calories will differ.
*Self-raising flour - Can be subbed for plain/all-purpose flour in 1:1 ratio but with the addition of 1/2 tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt.
*0 calorie brown sugar - Can be subbed for any granulated 0 calorie sweetener.
