ADVERTISSEMENT
Ingredients:
- ½ cup oats
- 2 medium apples
- 1½ cups yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients Start by gathering all your ingredients. Begin with the apples: peel, core, and slice them into thin, bite-sized pieces. For the oats, process them in a blender or food processor until they reach a fine, flour-like consistency. This oat flour forms the base of your pancake batter, adding a nutty flavor and a boost of fiber.
Step 2: Combine the Dry Ingredients In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. The cinnamon not only infuses the pancakes with a warm, spicy aroma but also adds a subtle sweetness that complements the apples perfectly.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until smooth. Add in the yogurt, mixing until you have a creamy, homogenous mixture. The yogurt not only adds a tangy flavor but also keeps the pancakes moist and tender.
Step 4: Make the Batter Slowly pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until everything is just combined. Avoid overmixing as it can make the pancakes tough. Gently fold in the apple pieces, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter. The apples will soften as they cook, releasing their juices and flavor into the pancakes.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes Heat a nonstick skillet or a griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of oil. Once the skillet is hot, pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set. Flip the pancakes and cook until the other side is golden brown.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy Serve the pancakes hot, straight off the griddle. These pancakes pair beautifully with a variety of toppings. Drizzle them with honey or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess, or top them with fresh fruit like berries or sliced bananas for a burst of freshness.
