Ingredients
-
Rolled Oats: 1 cup (plus a small bowl for extra texture if desired)
-
Fresh Apples: 2 medium apples (peeled and grated; plus whole apples for garnish)
-
Eggs: 2 large eggs
-
Milk or Plant-based Milk: 1/2 cup (to adjust batter consistency)
-
Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon
-
Cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon (optional, for warm flavor)
-
A pinch of salt
-
Butter or oil: For cooking in the pan
Instructions
-
Blend the Oats: Place the rolled oats into a blender and pulse until they form a fine flour-like consistency.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the blended oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
-
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together with the milk. Stir in the freshly grated apples.
-
Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture and stir gently until a smooth batter forms (as seen in the mixing bowl). Let the batter rest for 5 minutes so the oats can absorb some moisture.
-
Cook: Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour small portions of the batter onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.
-
Serve: Stack them high on a plate and serve warm with a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or extra apple slices!
