Ingredients:

For the Pancakes:

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (or non-dairy milk)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (or melted butter)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
  • Optional: Additional cinnamon for sprinkling

For Serving:

  • Maple syrup
  • Sliced apples
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Nuts (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Oats:
    • In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften and absorb some liquid.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the applesauce (or melted butter) and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
  4. Combine Mixtures:
    • Add the oat mixture and the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Fold in the chopped apples. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
  5. Cook the Pancakes:
    • Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a little butter.
    • Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve the pancakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, additional sliced apples, and whipped cream if desired. For an extra touch, sprinkle with additional cinnamon.
