Apple-Oatmeal Pancakes
This recipe for apple-oatmeal pancakes is filling and healthy and has a subtle sweetness all without added sugar or refined flour. Apple-oatmeal pancakes are rich in protein and fiber, and gluten-free. Prepare the batter in a small blender in no time.
Ingredients
1 cup oatmeal
2 medium apples or 5 - 7 tablespoons of applesauce
2 eggs
150g plain greek yoghurt
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and/or allspice, nutmeg (to taste)
1/8 teaspoon salt
Coconut oil
Maple syrup
Directions
- If you are not using applesauce, dice the apples and add them to a small bowl. Either microwave the apples for 3 minutes or cook them on the stovetop over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, or until softened. Set aside.
- In a small blender, add the oats, eggs, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. After giving the apples a few minutes to cool, add them in.
- Blend this mixture until smooth.
- Preheat a sauté pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes and keep it that hot between rounds. Add a bit of coconut oil as needed to the pan.
- Cook the pancakes in four rounds, flipping them after two minutes for another.
- Top with maple syrup and enjoy!
Notes
- Preheat your pan to medium while you’re blending your ingredients. This helps avoid the dreaded “first-pancake-flop” when the pan is not quite hot enough.
