Bourbon Apple Pancakes with Crispy Bacon
  1. 1

    Heat 1 teaspoon canola oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the apples, 1 tablespoon sugar, and cinnamon in the hot oil until the apples are slightly softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.

  2. 2

    Whisk the milk, butter, egg, bourbon, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Sift the all-purpose flour, oat flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Stir the flour mixture into the milk mixture until the batter is well mixed; fold in the apples and bacon.

  3. 3

    Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon canola oil in a skillet over medium heat; drop the batter, about 1/2 cup per pancake, onto the griddle, and cook until bubbles form and the edges look dry, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook until browned on the other side, 3 to 5 more minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
