Apple spelt pancakes

May 30, 2015 By travellingoven 10 Comments

I was planning to post this on Monday but than I thought how these Apple spelt pancakes make perfect Sunday breakfast so here they are just in time!
I recently started to read and educate myself a bit more about flours, I guess that’s a natural next step in my diet/lifestyle change. I am so excited about this journey that I started and everything just flows naturally, slowly changing the ingredients I use, removing some and adding some… Improving the flavors of the food we eat at home and discovering whole new ways how to make healthy food taste amazing and so delicious. I cannot resist buying new cookbooks and the best one I bought lately is Deliciously Ella by Ella Woodward. This girl is amazing, she had serious illness and healed herself entirely with food and nutrition, she changed the way she she eats but also she experience food in a whole new way now.

UPDATED WITH THIS NEW PHOTO IN 2020:

Seeing food as something that can help our bodies and minds and at the same time taste so much better than the food that it’s not good for us. I love how she included a lot of desserts in her book and it’s really amazing how good they taste (I tried few already!), using only natural ingredients and sweeteners like dates and maple syrup. I’m obsessed now and will have to make them all lol! 🙂
It’s really interesting everything that’s been happening to me this last year, how something so negative as health/stomach/digestion problems can bring you something so positive and open the whole new world of possibilities! Anyway, enough with my excitement and let’s talk some Apple pancakes!

ORIGINAL PHOTOS FROM 2015:

I had all these beautiful apples and I don’t know why but I thought of making pancakes with grated apple in the batter. Since I never made those kind of pancakes and after some googling, I was inspired by the recipe for Apple pancakes from Smitten Kitchen blog (you can find it here) and than I thought let me try to use the spelt flour rather than the regular one and I changed few more things as well. Have you ever baked with spelt flour? I love it and will use it more and more in my kitchen. .

Spelt is an ancient grain, with a hard husk that protects it from bugs and the need for pesticides. Even if a person isn’t wheat sensitive, spelt is better than the regular wheat flour, as it is higher in protein, easier to digest, higher in fiber and has many other benefits. It’s naturally darker (unlike bleached white wheat) and has mild nutty flavor. Now I have to say that after I came up with this recipe, I made these pancakes also with a mix of white and wholewheat flour and they were still good, more like regular pancakes. So you can definitely make them also with regular wheat flour. But for me personally they are better with spelt flour, the slightly nutty flavor makes them more special and when paired with grated apple taste really so delicious.

Author: Lili Basic, inspired by the recipe for Apple pancakes from Smitten Kitchen blog
Recipe type: Breakfast
Ingredients
  • 1 cup almond milk (or any other milk)
  • 1.5 cup spelt flour
  • 1 egg
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbs coconut sugar (or raw cane sugar)
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 large red apple, peeled and grated
  • Note: makes 10 pancakes
Preparation
  1. Mix all the ingredients and when all combined add grated apple. Heat a bit of coconut oil (or butter) in a non-stick pancakes pan over medium heat.
  2. Put 2 tbsp of batter per pancake on pan (I was making two at the same time but depends how big is your pan) and cook 2-3 minutes or until you see bubbles forming on top of the pancake. That means it's time to flip them and than cook another minute or two on the other side.
  3. Serve them with maple syrup and blueberries or maple syrup or honey with pecans or with Greek yogurt and honey. Enjoy! 🙂

    Je li uredu ako umjesto pirovog koristim brasno od slanutka za gluten free verziju? Je li potrebna onda ista kolicina, ili mijenjam?

    Hvala

It was an early afternoon and this little farmers’ market was closing as I asked the woman selling the flowers if I could take a photo. She sounded almost embarrassed and said ‘oh you should have come earlier when my flowers were in their full beauty and the display was much prettier, I’m afraid they won’t make a nice photo now..’ I replied that they are beautiful and that I would very much like to take a photo of them. And afterwards I thought how I haven’t even noticed that they weren’t ‘perfect’ anymore. I guess I have always been drawn to ‘imperfection’ and find great beauty in it. ☺️✨✨✨
I absolutely love Wabi Sabi, The Japanese Art of Impermanence, an aesthetic that finds beauty in things imperfect, impermanent and incomplete.
Wabi-Sabi nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect.❤️
Few scenes from beautiful island and town Rab..💛 There are places that have that special atmosphere and good energy that is difficult to put into words. You simply have to be there to feel it. But I hope these few images give you a bit of that wonderful vibe…✨

Have you ever tried Rapska torta (Rab cake)? I lov Have you ever tried Rapska torta (Rab cake)? I love its sweet and rich taste and aroma, almonds, lemon and orange zest, Maraschino liqueur...🧡
It is believed that this dessert was served for the first time in 1177 to the Pope Alexander III on the occasion of the blessing of the Rab Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary. One hundred years ago this unique Rab dessert was made by nuns in the monastery of St. Anthony of Padua, while some time later also in the Benedictine monastery of St. Andrew. The original and at the same time secret recipe was only known to a few of the Rab women. Even today it is known to only a few and it's made on especially festive occasions...
