How to make this recipe

Into a bowl, add the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, coconut sugar, and salt. Add the apple puree, eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract and whisk to combine to a separate mixing bowl.

Next, pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and gently combine everything.

Heat a skillet or a frying pan over low heat and grease the pan with coconut oil. Once hot, pour a ladle of the batter into the pan and let it cook for about 1 or 2 minutes. When bubbles start to appear all over the top, flip it very gently and let it cook for 2 more minutes, then plate. Repeat this process until you have used all the batter.

Serve immediately topped with diced apples and maple syrup or let it cool down and freeze them.
