These Wholemeal Apple and Cinnamon Pikelets are our new favourite morning tea snack!

Wholemeal Apple and Cinnamon Pikelets

Now that we’re well into the school year, I’ve been looking for some more snacks I can make to add to his lunchbox.  Pikelets are one of our favourite snacks, so I decided to have a play around with our favourite Pikelet recipe to make it a little more lunchbox friendly.

Wholemeal Apple and Cinnamon Pikelets

By simply substituting the plain flour with wholemeal self raising flour and leaving out the caster sugar (you can add it if you prefer  a little extra sweetness, a good idea if you like to eat these plain), these pikelets become a fairly healthy snack option for the kids.

Wholemeal Apple and Cinnamon Pikelets

This recipe makes around 24 pikelets (depending on the size you make them of course) and they can also be made ahead of time and frozen to help make those crazy school mornings (which we always seem to have!) just that little bit easier!

We love these pikelets served with strawberry jam (both hot or cold) or warm with some extra butter on top – yum!

    What kind of apples do you use and do you grate the skin with the flesh?

      Hi Janet. I use any type of apples (have used red and green) depending on what we have and I usually keep the flesh on to grate, however you can peel the apples first if you prefer.

      Hi, you can switch between the two, just use the same amount of flour and add a tsp of baking powder if using plain flour.
