Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mash the avocado using a fork until smooth then whisk wet ingredients together with avocado before adding to dry mixture.
- Add freshly grated ginger, and mix to combine all ingredients with a spatula or spoon, just enough to combine.
- Let mixture stand for half an hour at room temperature.
- In a large, non-stick skillet, add vegetable oil and heat on medium. While skillet is heating, cut the apple into very thin slices.
- Add 2 or 3 apple slices at a time to the skillet and let them brown slightly before flipping them over.
- Once they are light brown on both sides, position them in the skillet (not too close together, not too close to the edge). Scoop a half ladle worth of batter and put on top of each apple slice. If the batter clumps up, gently even it out with the back of the ladle.
- Let the pancakes develop a crust and watch for bubbles popping on surface before flipping.
- Repeat steps 6 through 8 until you've made approximately 8 pancakes.
- Serve with butter and maple syrup.
