Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1 apple, sliced
- ½ cup oats, ground
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
Binding and Flavor Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon yogurt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅓ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish and Topping Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts or almonds
- Coconut oil (for cooking)
- Fruit (optional)
- Honey (optional)
- Nuts (optional)
- Yogurt or whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Pulverize the apple along with egg, honey, and melted coconut oil in a blender until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Incorporate ground oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and vanilla extract into the mixture, blending thoroughly to create a smooth batter.
- Gently fold chopped nuts into the batter, ensuring even distribution without compromising the mixture’s texture.
- Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat, lightly greasing the surface with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
- Carefully ladle small portions of batter onto the heated pan, forming compact pancakes approximately palm-sized in diameter.
- Monitor pancakes closely as they cook, watching for telltale bubbles emerging across the surface, indicating readiness to flip.
- Skillfully turn each pancake after approximately one minute, allowing the opposite side to golden and crisp for an additional 30-45 seconds.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a serving plate, continuing the process with remaining batter until fully utilized.
- Elevate the dish by adorning pancakes with an array of complementary toppings like fresh fruits, additional nuts, honey drizzle, creamy yogurt, or delicate whipped cream.
Notes
- Blend apples with wet ingredients first to create a smooth, consistent base for light and fluffy pancakes.
- Chop nuts separately to maintain their crunchy texture and prevent over-processing in the blender.
- Use medium heat to ensure pancakes cook evenly without burning, creating a perfect golden-brown exterior.
- Allow bubbles to form on the surface before flipping, which indicates the pancake is ready to turn.
- Customize toppings to suit your taste, adding fresh fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
- Coconut oil provides a subtle tropical hint and helps prevent sticking while cooking.
