STEPS
- Set air fryer to 390F / 199C. Set the cast iron tray or ramekin inside the air fryer as it heats.
- Add all ingredients for the batter to a blender and blend until smooth. If the batter happens to be too thick, simply add tablespoons of milk and/or applesauce to thin it out.
- Spray a cast iron tray or ramekin with nonstick baking spray, then pour in a serving of the batter.
- Air fry for 6 to 8 minutes. Do NOT worry if the top comes out kind of “hard” to touch. That’s the benefit of using the air fryer – it gives the pancake a nice firm outer coating/edges that soften as it cools.
- Store the remaining batter in an airtight container in the fridge to make it fresh every morning.
- Garnish and enjoy!
