Ingredients

- Blend until smooth.
- Add pancake mix to the blender.
- Blend until combined.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, separate the egg and whip the egg white until fluffy before folding it into the batter. You can substitute the apple with pears or bananas for a different flavor. If you don't have evaporated milk, regular milk or a non-dairy alternative works too. For added sweetness, consider incorporating cinnamon or vanilla extract into the blend.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these pancakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar. They pair beautifully with fresh fruit or a dollop of yogurt for added creaminess. Consider serving alongside a side of crispy bacon or sausage for a filling breakfast. For a sweet treat, enjoy them with a slice of Fresh Orange Chiffon Cake.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or on a skillet over low heat until warmed through. You can also freeze them for up to a month; just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat pancake mix instead of regular?
Yes, using whole wheat pancake mix will add a nutty flavor and extra fiber to your pancakes. Just be aware that the texture may be denser, so you might want to adjust the liquid slightly to achieve your desired consistency.
What can I do if I don't have a blender?
If you don’t have a blender, you can mash the apple and mix all the ingredients by hand. Use a whisk to combine the egg and sugar, then fold in the mashed apple and milk, and finally stir in the pancake mix until just combined.
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
It's best to use the pancake batter fresh for optimal fluffiness. However, you can prepare the wet ingredients in advance and store them in the fridge. Just mix in the pancake mix right before cooking for the best results.
