Low Histamine Coconut-Vanilla Apple Oven Pancake
Few breakfasts feel as dramatic and satisfying as a Dutch baby pulled straight from the oven, puffed high and golden at the edges. This version layers maple-glazed apple slices across the bottom of a cast-iron skillet before the batter goes in, so every wedge comes out with a soft, caramelized fruit base and a custardy, lightly crisp top. Full-fat coconut milk stands in for dairy milk and gives the batter a subtle richness that pairs beautifully with the vanilla and a whisper of Ceylon cinnamon — a spice worth seeking out since it tends to be gentler and lower in certain compounds than the more common cassia variety. Managing histamine often means rethinking the pantry staples that sneak into everyday cooking, and this recipe keeps things clean with fresh whole ingredients and nothing fermented, aged, or processed. The maple syrup adds just enough sweetness without leaning on anything that would raise flags. Serves four, so it's a lovely weekend morning centerpiece — just be ready to cut and serve the moment it comes out of the oven, because that glorious puff won't wait around.

4 servings
For the batter
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup full-fat coconut milk
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
For the apples
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced ¼-inch thick
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- ¼ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
Ingredient noteSome low histamine plans avoid cinnamon, but cinnamon doesn't actually contain histamine. This recipe uses only a very small amount of true ceylon cinnamon per serving. If you prefer to always avoid true ceylon cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
For serving
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet on the center rack of the oven and preheat to 425°F (220°C).
- 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, flour, 1 tbsp maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until the batter is smooth and no dry streaks remain — it will be thin and pourable, similar in consistency to heavy cream.
