Apple Oat Pancakes

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 large apple

2/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (60 grams)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, but extremely delicious)

1/8 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt

Extra-virgin olive oil

Maple syrup (for serving)

Directions

Dice the apple and add it to a small bowl. Either microwave the apple for 3 minutes, or cook it on the stove top over medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until softened. Set aside.

In a small blender, add the oats, eggs, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add in the apple after giving it a few minutes to cool.

Blend this mixture until smooth.

Set a sauté pan over medium heat. Let this heat up for 3-4 minutes before adding a drizzle of olive oil to the pan. (I prefer this to butter, which tends to burn when the pan is this hot).

Cook the pancakes in four rounds, flipping after two minutes.

Top with maple syrup and enjoy!
