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

  1. 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.

  2. Blend the Base: For a smoother texture, pulse the oatmeal in a blender until it reaches a flour-like consistency.

  3. 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.

  4. Heat the Pan: Lightly grease a non-stick skillet with a small amount of butter or coconut oil over medium-low heat.

  5. 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.

  6. Flip: Gently flip and cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes until cooked through.

  7. Serve: Enjoy these warm. They pair beautifully with a dollop of extra yogurt or a few fresh berries.
