Step-by-Step Instructions
Here’s how to make Healthy Oatmeal Apple Pancakes:
Prepare the Pancake Batter:
- Blend the Oats: In a blender or food processor, blend the rolled oats until they become a fine oat flour.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg, honey or maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
- Combine the Dry Ingredients: Add the oat flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir until well combined.
- Add the Apples: Fold the grated apple into the batter, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little oil to coat the surface.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour a small amount of batter onto the pan to form each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip carefully to avoid breaking the pancakes.
- Repeat: Continue cooking the pancakes in batches, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve: Stack the pancakes on plates and top with fresh apple slices, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon, if desired.
