Vegan Apple Pancakes

Yum! Dessert for breakfast is always a good thing!

I don’t usually eat breakfast for dessert but I have been adding some of my favorite chocolate peanut butter to my bowl of steel cut oats in the morning. Somehow chocolate at breakfast seems wrong… but it tastes so right!

UM ALWAYS!! i HATEe savory breakfasts! itsnever rare when my breakki is sweet!

Ahh! Katie, I posted before on your Blueberry Pancakes–again, I’m not really a pancake person, but I randomly got a craving and those hit the spot. I’m headed home from college for the weekend so I’ll finally have access to a stove and (free!) ingredients again; guess what my dinner is going to be? 😉 Love your recipes so much, keep it up!!!

Wow, that picture is beautiful! At first I thought that those were cookies covered in ice cream but I’m happy to find out they are really breakfast food!! I’ve actually always wanted to make your breakfast pizza so maybe I’ll make it for dessert this weekend!

I have totally done dessert for breakfast, but never breakfast for dessert 😉

I was literally in the kitchen making these not even five minutes after I got your email subscription this morning featuring these! They were sooooo good with warm cinnamon syrup drizzled… okay, drenching, them! I even posted it on my own lil blog with a link back to you! Thank you! 🙂

Omg these look absolutely amazing! I could def eat these for dessert!

Everything is better a la mode! 🙂 I have had my fair share of pancakers for dessert nothin’ like the ole chocolate chipper 🙂

Congratulations on getting nominated Katie!!! That is so cool, and so well-desereved!

These looks fantastic!! I love warm apple things, and these sounds like they will taste like apple pie! MMMMM

I agree, everything is better a la mode. This look fantastic! 🙂

Oh my goodness – these pancakes are calling my name! The way the syrup and ice cream are dripping down the side of the pancake stack looks so yummy! 🙂

Mmmmm, perfect for the apple season that started! I’ve got a ton of apples, so can’t wait to try these out 🙂 Not sure if I could handle ice cream in the morning atop, but who knows!

I have the awful habit of always needed something sweet after a savory meal. So, yes, I do sometimes eat breakfast foods for dessert, and have been known to nosh on a bowl of cereal right after dinner. But my favorite discovery is dessert for breakfast by frying up a sliced banana or two in one teaspoon or two of olive oil (with a 1/2 TBS of brown sugar, optional) and then adding THAT to my oatmeal! Extremely amazing how the caramelized banana tastes with oatmeal … and sometimes I’ll add in some golden raisins too 🙂 … but then I start thinking about adding RUM to my oatmeal, and that’s a door that should just remain closed … unless I’m on a cruise maybe 😉

Yummy! I have to make these!

Do you ever eat breakfast foods for dessert? = yes but nothing as pretty as what you made 🙂

More like a handful of cereal but when I was growing up with used to have breakfast for dinner all the time. Pancakes, waffles, eggs were also dinnertime recipes.

The pics are fabulous. Melting things, i.e. the ice cream = hard to photography b/c you have to be FAST. Great job!

WOW. These look super tasty. I love the combination of apples and cinnamon.

And of course I eat breakfast for dessert! My favorite is belgian waffles with icecream on top! Or a yogurt parfait with granola, or better yet, one of your milkshakes!

That does look like dessert! I sometimes eat hot oatmeal for dinner with a piece of whole wheat toast and sometimes I have it for a snack. I love oatmeal!

Yum!! I have a fall pancakes recipe for tomorrow 🙂

Hey! Tried these not too long ago and they were delicious! I blogged about it here: http://healthyisfun.tumblr.com/post/11314830668/apple-pie-pancakes-original-recipe

I love your blog, thank you so much for sharing all your great recipes. I’m not a vegan, but I enjoy everything you post! Keep up the good work!

Just made these. Holy. Moly. Epic! I’ll be blogging about it soon and will be sure to give you a shoutout! 🙂

In Japan (where I grew up) we eat pancakes, waffles, and other sweet baked goodies, which are commonly eaten for breakfast in the US, for desserts in the mid afternoon (not after dinner). I was shocked when I saw pancakes served for breakfast for the first time right after I moved to the US. I now eat pancakes for breakfast occasionally, but I still eat mostly Japanese breakfast foods for breakfast and keep so called American breakfast foods for afternoon snacks.

PS: Just in case you are wondering what Japense eat as after-dinner desserts, we eat fresh fruits.

Delicioso! I added a couple teaspoons of oil to the batter. Yummy!

Hi! Can you sub quick oats (on hand for your cookie pie!) instead of the rolled oats? I’m not really an oatmeal person, so I don’t know anything about oats!

Ok, now I’m starting to feel like your blog stalker. I swear I’ve been on here at least 5 times in the last 24 hours! 🙂 And of course I’ve been telling all my health conscious family and friends about you. Just made these for lunch with some homemade turkey sausage patties and I’m thinking nothing could have been better. I honestly didn’t think they could live up to your description but, would be good just the same (and healthy too!) So, I think they really do taste like eating a warm pie….will definitely be making these again! And I LOVE the simplicity of your recipes. If feel like after making them just a few times I will have them memorized. Makes my life as a mom just that much easier. Thanks!

Katie, I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know that even when one begins making this recipe (for the hundredth time), and then realizes that one has no apples whatsoever in their house (for the first time ever), and thus ends up making hot apple pie pancakes sans apples, these still turn out glorious. 😉

Delicious. Absolutely wonderful, and so easy to make.

Katie, me and my son have both been recently diagnosed with egg, sugar and wheat allergies. Being known for my baking, this was devastating for me! I’ve been crying my way through breakfasts, trying to make things (especially pancakes) that everyone can eat, only to have disaster after disaster being thrown away in the garbage. These pancakes put such a huge smile on everyone’s face – and I’m so excited to try some of the others. We’re considering going vegan because it seems to supplement this diet so well, and after watching forks over knives last night, I think it sealed the deal. I’m nervous to try it, especially for my little 3 year old, because I hear so many claims on both sides, some pointing out dangerous risks coming from the vegan diet (mostly deficiencies). I’m worried about getting enough calcium in our diets, especially if we don’t eat soy. Any recommendations for good blogs/books to help us get started? Especially sites that are sensitive to people with wheat/soy /sugar allergies. Thanks so much for what you’re doing!!!

OH GOD I JUST FOUND THESE ONES!!! I will be making these tomorrow instead. Or maybe in addition. And adding bananas anyway. HOW are you such a pancake goddess?! 😀

I have tried several recipes on your site (especially in the oatmeal section- you have made oatmeal my favorite meal!) but I have to say this is the absolute best thing I have tried!!!! I feel like I’m eating a delicious dessert for breakfast. I made this the morning of my college graduation because I wanted a special breakfast and it started my day off perfectly 🙂

Do u think it would work to use pear instead of apple?

Just made a batch of these and topped them with a little maple syrup and some chopped apple. It was so delicious!

Hi Katie, could you state how long approx you cook each pancake per side? I’m mid-process making these, but as they don’t react like regular pancakes (with eggs, and bubbles-for-flipping-cue), I’m not really sure what I’m looking for. Smells good, though!

This was so good! The perfect fall breakfast. I used spelt flour and coconut oil, both of which I had never tried before and I think it makes a big difference.

Aw I LOVED these! I topped them with syrup!
Also, if you want to add coconut oil, but not a whole tablespoon, it works to add a teaspoon of coconut oil and just take a teaspoon of milk out.
They were wonderful! I’ll be making these for my room mate for her birthday breakfast next week!

Oh my god. They look so good.

I made these yesterday morning, and I spent the rest of the day telling people about the awesome pancakes I had for breakfast. This morning I was about to make the exact same thing since I have an abundance of apples, but then I noticed an open can of pumpkin puree in the fridge. I used 1/4 cup pumpkin instead of the 1/2 cup apple and left everything else exactly the same. They are a little gooey in the middle but still GOOD! Do you have any suggestions for making a better PUMPKIN pancake?

I made these this morning. I used ww pastry flour… and 1 tablespoon xylitol plus about 10-15 drops stevita for the sugar. I also added 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar per batch (I doubled the recipe) because I find vinegar usually makes for a less dense pancake. I pulsed peeled and roughly chopped Granny Smith apples into a fine chop in the food processor. I also used flax seed oil for the fat portion. I used my leftover chopped up apple in the syrup, which I added a bit of cinnamon and earth balance to and cooked on the stove while the pancakes were going. I served with vanilla ice cream and the cooked syrup. I thought they were delicious. My family said they prefer my plain or blueberry pancakes. My two year old refused to eat these…lol. I guess they are pancake purists. But, again, I tried them and I thought they were very good.

I used Better Oats 100 cal/sugar free Maple Brown Sugar oats and didn’t need to add any sugar, absolutely delicious! Thanks, Katie!!

I made a batch of these substituting carrot for apple….yum! Added some raisins, too!

Could you please tell me how many pancakes this recipe makes? My husband loves breakfast for dinner and apple pie…so this will make the perfect birthday dinner for him this week!

These pancakes were amazing!!!!! I didn’t add sugar to them and added homemade apple sauce instead or oil and they were delicious!! Finally i found an amazing pancake recipe that Is also healthy 😀

These pancakes look just like cookies in the picture and they definitely look good with ice cream on top. I was already interested in them before I even saw the yummy (and healthy) ingredient list. Can’t wait to try them out on my family and see what they think.

yummmmmmyyyyy..I think you just made tomorrow..must 😀

Hi Katie! Happy New Year. Just wanted to let everyone know that using carbonated soda water (like i made mine in the SodaStream) works great for pancakes! I used 1/2 cup of bubbly water and it made my pancakes flluffier

Hi! I’m absolutely loving your blog. I have a question… I’ve noticed all of my healthy pancakes come out dreadfully flat and I use about the same ingredients with the exception of oat flour and protein powder. Any thoughts? How do yours come out so fluffy? Thanks!

I noticed that if you ever include whole wheat flour as an option it’s always pastry flour, is that because regular whole wheat flour just doesn’t turn out well in baked recipes? I’m just wondering cuz I’ve never used pastry flour and therefor never just have it on hand

I just made these for a lazy Sunday breakfast and they are delicious! I topped them with applesauce and cinnamon. Breakfast is my absolute favorite meal and I could eat it all day every day!

how many calories are in these? 🙂

These were delicious! I used the apple pie spice from Penzey Spice instead of cinnamon.

These are among the best pancakes I’ve ever had! So yummy! I doubled the recipe and used one whole apple. I also added a tiny bit of oil as suggested. Served with peanut butter and maple syrup. Delicious!
