Chai Apple Multigrain Pancakes #appleweek

This post is sponsored on behalf of #appleweek.

It’s the last week of Apple Week and I’m making breakfast again!

I decided to make an apple-icious take on my favorite multigrain pancakes!  The pancakes are soft and bursting with flavor and an absolute homerun!  Even Hubs, who tolerates frequent pancakes because the kids request them all the time, got excited about these pancakes – so that’s really saying something!

Chai Apple Multigrain Pancakes

¾ cup whole wheat flour

¼ cup cornmeal

¼ cup old fashioned oats

2 tablespoon ground flax

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sweetened chai spices

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 egg

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce

¾ cup buttermilk

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, oats, flax, baking soda, salt, chai and cinnamon.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, brown sugar, applesauce, buttermilk, and butter.

Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened.

Pour 3-4 tablespoons of batter onto a hot, greased skillet.  Cook for 1-2 minutes or until browned, flip and cook on the other side.  Serve hot with butter and a big dollop of whipped cream.
