These vegan apple cinnamon pancakes are so light and delicious, you’d never guess they are free of eggs and dairy! The perfect breakfast to enjoy with your family on Saturday morning.
Don’t you love the weekend? You can slow down a little and enjoy a nice breakfast.
These vegan apple cinnamon pancakes are the perfect weekend breakfast. I love to make vegan pancakes or waffles on the weekend and these apple cinnamon pancakes are so good!
I especially like to add a little more flavor to my pancakes in the fall. Whether it’s apple cinnamon, or pumpkin, or chocolate chips…these are all good additions in my book.
These vegan apple cinnamon pancakes are really easy to make, and they get pretty light and fluffy, which is wonderful, because sometimes egg free pancakes can be a little chewy, which is not my favorite quality in a pancake.

Vegan Apple Cinnamon Pancakes.
Yummy vegan apple cinnamon pancakes are a wonderful weekend breakfast option.
Ingredients
- 1 cup spelt flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1 ½ Tablespoons sugar
- ⅓ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 2 Tablespoons melted vegan buttery spread plus more for the pan
- ¼ cup unsweetened apple sauce
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Put the dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk together with a fork.
-
Add the wet ingredients, stir. Let everything sit for a few minutes until the batter starts to rise.
-
Meanwhile, you should be heating your frying pan and about a tablespoon of buttery spread over medium heat. We have an electric stove and I put it at about 5. The secret to good pancakes, (not just these) is to get your pan nice and hot before you spoon the batter in.
-
When the butter is melted and the pan is good and hot, spoon your batter in, and turn the heat down a tad, to medium low. Once the edges of the pancake look done, and you see a few little bubbles forming in the pancakes, flip them over. DON’T WANDER AWAY! I am a big multi-tasker, and I just cannot leave the pancake pan when cooking. They will burn. Believe me, I’ve done it many a time.
-
Once done, remove from pan and add more buttery spread as needed for the next round.
Recipe Notes
Serving size is two small pancakes.
These vegan apple cinnamon pancakes are:
- perfect for a family breakfast
- great when topped with maple syrup or powdered sugar
- easy to make, and so fluffy!
Enjoy with your favorite maple syrup, cinnamon sugar, or chopped apples on top!
These are not gluten free, since they are made with spelt, which although it is lower in gluten, is not gluten free. If you are looking for a gluten free pancake recipe, I posted one here.

I made these yesterday with 1/4C grated pink lady apple instead of the applesauce (didn’t have any). Didn’t add any sugar bc my girls drown every pancake in maple syrup, and added extra cinnamon. Really REALLY good pancakes. A very welcome change from the usual chocolate chip or banana pancakes.

I’m glad you liked them! Thanks for letting me know!
Rebecca
Love these! I double the cinnamon and add an extra 2 tablespoons of applesauce instead of the oil/butter and they are delicious!
Connie
I’ve tried different recipes and this’s the best one so far! I used an grated apple (I squeezed it to take the liquid out) instead of the applesauce and worked perfect!

I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you for letting me know!
Rae
Delicious b I used maple syrup rather than sugar and whole wheat flour rather than spelt. Very tasty!
Danna
Omfg… These were amazeballs!! The only thing I changed was the flour to make it gluten free, I used 1/2 cup oat flour, 1/4 cup cassava and 1/4 cup quinoa… And I cup of oat milk…
I’m obsessed now. Thinking of pancakes all day all night. What did you do to me?
Rebecca
I think this might be my new favorite pancake recipe! I made it with just cinnamon the first time and the second time added 1/4 tsp cardamom and just 1/4 tsp cinnamon and it was so delicious with the apple flavor!

I’ve tried lots of different recipes and this one is excellent! I made my own apple sauce by blending two apples with one cup almond milk in my vitamin. Added that to batter and it was great!
