Q&A
Q: Can I make these without eggs?
A: Yes. Replace each egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water).
Q: Are these pancakes sweet enough without sugar?
A: The natural sweetness from the apples is usually enough, especially if you use sweet varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp.
Q: Can I store them for later?
A: Yes. Refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Q: Can I add other ingredients?
A: Absolutely! Raisins, chopped nuts, or a pinch of nutmeg make excellent additions.
