Apple Oats Pancakes

These apple oat pancakes are a delicious treat. They are wholesome, made with simple, hearty ingredients, and without refined sugar. Great source of fiber, a tasty, healthy, and filling breakfast you need in the morning. I use a combination of oats and almond flour. Feel free to use flour of your choice, like whole wheat, millet, gluten-free, etc. Simply grind old-fashioned oats for oat flour.

INGREDIENTS

2 Apples

1 1/2 cups Flour

3/4 cup Oat flour

2 tsp Cinnamon

3 tbsp Unsalted butter

1/4 tsp Salt

1 tbsp Baking powder

1 tsp Baking soda

2 Eggs

2 tsp Vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups milk

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Peel apples and grate them.

2. Mix all dry ingredients (oats flour, almond flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, baking soda).

3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, then add melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk. Combine this mixture with grated apples.

4. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.

5. Let the batter rest for a few minutes. Oats will soak up some of the moisture and pancake batter will thicken. Adjust the consistency of batter by adding more milk if needed.

6. In the meantime, heat a heavy cast-iron skillet/non-stick pan over medium-low heat, or heat an electric griddle to 320 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly oil the surface of your pan with coconut oil, butter, or cooking spray.

7. For each pancake, pour ¼ cup of batter into the pan.

8. Cook for 1-2 minutes until pancake is lightly browned. 

9. Flip the pancake carefully and cook for another minute.

Transfer to a plate and enjoy with a drizzle of pure maple syrup or natural honey.
