Instructions
How to Make Apple Pancakes with Rolled Oats
Add all ingredients (expect apple dices) to a high speed blender and process until smooth. Once smooth, stir in the apple chunks.
How to Make Apple Pancakes with Flour
In a mixing bowl, beat the egg together with applesauce, nut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth.
Add to the wet mixture flour and milk, then stir until combined. For fluffy pancakes, do not overmix batter.
Stir in the diced apple
Spray a griddle or pan with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Once hot, pour one scoop of batter into the pan. Cook your pancakes over medium heat until the underside is golden and bubbles begin to appear on the surface, then flip with a spatula and cook until golden.
Caramelized Apple Topping
In a bowl, combine the apple dices with maple syrup and ground cinnamon. Microwave on high for about 30 to 45 seconds, or until soft and tender.
