Flourless Apple & Oatmeal Pancakes
Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 10 minutes | Servings: 2
Ingredients
-
1 cup Oatmeal (rolled or quick oats)
-
2 Apples (medium, any variety)
-
2 Eggs
-
150g Yogurt (plain Greek yogurt works best for protein)
-
1 tsp Baking powder
-
Optional: ½ tsp cinnamon and a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Instructions
-
Prepare the Apples: Core the apples and either grate them finely or cut them into small chunks. If you prefer a smoother pancake, you can blend them with the liquid ingredients later.
-
Blend the Base: For a smoother texture, pulse the oatmeal in a blender until it reaches a flour-like consistency.
-
Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and yogurt until smooth. Stir in the oatmeal (or oat flour), baking powder, and the prepared apples. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to hydrate.
-
Heat the Pan: Lightly grease a non-stick skillet with a small amount of butter or coconut oil over medium-low heat.
-
Cook: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the bottom is golden brown.
-
Flip: Gently flip and cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes until cooked through.
-
Serve: Enjoy these warm. They pair beautifully with a dollop of extra yogurt or a few fresh berries.
