Gluten free Apple Streusel Pancakes are a delightful cinnamon spiced pancake dotted with bits of fresh apple, a crunchy layer of streusel and drizzle of icing.
2tspwater, milk or apple juice(*just enough to dissolve the sugar)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon with a fork until uniform in color.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the buttermilk and egg together until uniform in color.
Whisk the flour mixture into the buttermilk mixture until no lumps remain.
Incorporate the melted butter making sure that there are no more streaks of oil, then add in the diced apple. Set aside while you make the Streusel & Icing.
For the Streusel:
In a small bowl, combine the oats, sugar and cinnamon. Drizzle in the melted butter and stir to combine well. Set aside.
For the Icing:
In a small bowl combine just enough apple juice, milk or water with the powdered sugar to create a thick glaze. Stir to remove the lumps. If it is too thin, add more sugar until you get the right consistency. Set aside.
To Make the Apple Streusel Pancakes:
Heat a large griddle or frying pan to medium heat.
Ladle the pancake batter onto the griddle as usual making pancakes approximately 4-5 inches in diameter.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the Streusel on top of the wet batter while one side browns.
Flip the pancakes and allow the other sides to brown. Work in batches until all of the batter is used.
You can keep pancakes warm in a 200 degree oven on a baking sheet. Serve with diced apple and a generous drizzle of icing.
