How to Make Whole Wheat Apple Pancakes With Brown Sugar Glaze
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Pour in the milk, eggs and oil; stir just until smooth. Mix in the apple.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Coat with cooking spray. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry. Flip and cook until browned on the other side.
To make the glaze, heat the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the molasses, brown sugar and vanilla. Serve warm spooned over pancakes.

Whole Wheat Apple Pancakes With Brown Sugar Glaze Reviews
With some modifications, this recipe could be a good one. I used 2 cups whole wheat flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder (1/4 cup of a rising agent is way too much), the 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 1/2 cups milk, 1/4 cup honey (pancakes need sweetener in my opinion), 2 eggs, and 1/4 cup canola oil. This at least will give you a good basic pancake recipe. From here, add or omit the cinnamon, apples, etc. Didnt do the glaze, but a brown sugar glaze sounds intriguing.
I also tried the recipe and it is way off. I was determined to make it work, so i tried it with 1/2 the baking powder, 1/2 the liquid, added 1/2 cup of water, 1 apple diced very small. I didnt make the sauce as i thought it was way too fattening, i just put light syrup on top.They were thick, and very hearty pancakes, very filling, but good after the modifications.
Im glad I didnt read any reviews first or I might have been scared away. GLAD I WASNT I halved everything in the recipe to feed fewer I thought they turned out great but I had to add a little more milk to thin them out since I like thinner pancakes. Im not sure why so many people feel they need to modify this recipe... I think you should take them at face value. With whole wheat flour and no sugar, this recipe will only appeal to a few people. Our family was one. Everyone devoured them I didnt make the brown sugar glaze but if I did I sure wouldnt want sugar in the cakes PLUS this glaze on top.
This recipe did not work at all. There is far, far too much baking powder, too much liquid, and the apple chunks are too large. It took quite a bit of doctoring to make it edible.
This was a hard lesson for me in reading the reviews of others before making a recipe. you definitely dont need that much baking powder.
I made this exactly the way the recipe called it, except I used sea salt instead of salt. Pretty good except I agree, way too much baking powder, the batter was very "fluffy" but it helped to encompass the apple chunks. Pancakes were a little dry but the brown sugar glaze was SO good and helped. I used light brown sugar because I didnt have any dark on hand.
exelent, its absolutely GREAT
These are really good, not sure why there are all these negative reviews The consistency was good, not too sloppy at all. The only change I made based on the reviews was to reduce the baking powder to 2 1/2 tsp. I didnt miss a sweetener and served them with regular syrup. Yum Thanks for the recipe.
Not bad I also tried using 2 cups ground whole oatmeal rather than flour, I ground it in my coffee grinder. Yummo Thanks for sharing
The thought is good, but i dont see how this could be a healthy alternative with a whole cup of butter and a whole cup of brown sugar --its probably worse that regular pancakes will definitely try this recipe with some modifications. perhaps with a topping of a cinnamon topping made with applesauce.
Best pancakes ever We added 1 1/2 tablespoons of brown sugar to the pancakes and used syrup instead of molasses because we didnt have any. We also only made half of the glaze and still had some left over. Amazing And only 1,000 calories per serving :)
Surprisingly light I used whole wheat pastry flour, added a bit of brown sugar, increased the cinnamon. On the advice of other reviewers I decreased the baking powder, but next time I make this recipe I will add a bit more. We would have liked them to have been a bit fluffier. Did not make the glaze, just ate them with pure maple syrup. Also, the next time I make this recipe I will add some chooped walnuts or pecans.
This looked like a lovely recipe, but there was WAY too much baking powder. I would say use half the required amount at most. Otherwise, though, they were great, and with a modification or two I would probably make these again.
Its a nice recipe, apart from the bake powder amount. There is no way so much baking powder can be healthy. Other than that its Great I added baking powder to my like
I took the advice of another reviewer and used only 4 tsps of baking soda. I also used 3 tsps of ground cinnamon because I love extra cinnamon. The pancakes had so much potential but they still tasted like baking soda. I also didnt do the glaze.
This recipe turned out great. I was scared of the amount of baking powder but it turned out well, the pancakes turned out nice and fluffy. I added some vanilla, 1/4 cup brown sugar, oats and wheat germ. The kids loved them and asked for seconds. I did not make the topping, I was looking for a nutritous breakfast for the kids and all that butter would of defeated the purpose.
I did not care for these All you can taste is baking powder.
I loved these I did half the baking soda, and I used applesauce since I was out of apples. I made just the pancakes and they were awesome drizzled with syrup. Thanks
It is very yummy
Loved these pancakes, and so did my boyfriend and my family. The glaze is a little too much, but the pancakes themselves are delicious.
I agree with most of the other reviews, way too much baking powder.
Not impressed at all. It wasnt sweet enough for my taste. I also did not like the glaze, all I could taste was molasses.
Besides the excess baking powder (i used 3 tsp) it was fantastic molasses was a bit strong, but still very tasty
WOW That was delicious The glaze was unbelievable i thought i was at the fair eating a caramel apple there is too much glaze though... but i may try putting it on some pork or chick & BBQing it
I absolutely did not use 1/4 c. of baking powder. I used a couple tsp. and added a little vanilla and nutmeg. After reading the reviews, I decided to use applesauce in place of the oil and start with 1 cup of buttermilk and keep adding until it seemed the right consistancy. I did toss the shredded apples with the dry ingredients before adding in the wet ingredients. The topping was a nice compliment to the pancakes, Im really glad I cut it in half. If Id made the whole amount, it would have been overkill. Good idea for a recipe, it just needs a tweak here and there.
The family thought this recipe was delicious I followed the instructions in reducing some of the amounts of ingredients. Very hearty, healthy and the glaze is fantastic
It was extrymly good the glaze was awsome until i burt it by acedent :( it tasted like burt marshmelow. i would defanatly recoment the pancakes thou:)
YUMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYY Im definitly making this again My whole family loved it and devoured all of those pancakes. Thanks for sharing:)
Not good at all, bad Sorry.
I wish I had read the reviews before I made this. I took the recipe down to 2 servings, and it STILL seemed like a ton of the baking powder. That HAD to have been a typo, no? Anyway, breakfast was great... enjoyed these pancakes along with scrambled eggs with fresh scallions and a couple diced Lil Smokies :P
This recipe is quite good. I did add 1/3 cup of Splenda and 1/2 tsp of baking soda which made it even better PEOPLE...there is a difference between baking powder and baking soda.
I was looking for a wholesome, sweet-tasting recipe my whole family would like, but this recipe was a little heavy on the baking powder, and we could tell. Reduce the baking powder about a tablespoon and substitute a tablespoon of sugar, and this recipe would probably hit the spot.
Overall a good pancake. I did cut the baking powder down and I added a little vanilla. I didnt try the glaze but plan on trying it at some point.
I found the pancakes to be alright. They needed a little less baking soda and a little more sweet. The glaze did not work at all. All the molasses ust sank to the bottom and there was too much of it.
I modified this to be healthier. I cut the recipe in half. is ed 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/ 2 cup Greek yogurt instead if milk. 1 and 1/2 tap baking powder and 3 tbspoon apple sauce instead of the oil. made 4 4 inch pancakes. perfect for 21 day fit fix which would be 1 yellow, half a red, a quarter blue and two Tsp. if you need syrup then add 2 tablespoons but count half a yellow.
Not impressed at all. It wasnt sweet enough for my taste. I also did not like the glaze, all I could taste was molasses.
The only things I changed was I didnt have but 3/4 cup of milk at the time. So I filled the rest with thin applesauce, added a cup of brown sugar and put in only 3 tablespoons of Baking Powder. It turned out very very good
