Recipe Overview
Total Time: 25 minutes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Serves: 2–3
Ingredients
1 cup oats
2 apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced
2 eggs
150 g yogurt (plain or Greek)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
Oil or cooking spray, for the pan
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
Wash, peel, and core the apples, then cut them into very small cubes so they cook evenly. Place the oats in a blender and blend until they turn into a fine flour.
Mix the Batter
In a bowl, combine the oat flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the yogurt until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined. Gently fold in the diced apples.
Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or cooking spray. Spoon small portions of batter onto the pan to form pancakes. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side.
Serve
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.
Serving Suggestions
Top with Greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey.
Add fresh berries or sliced bananas.
Sprinkle with extra cinnamon or a light dusting of powdered sugar.
Tips for Best Results
Cut the apples into very small pieces so they soften while cooking.
Let the batter rest for a few minutes for fluffier pancakes.
Use a good non-stick pan to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
Storage Tips
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster, skillet, or microwave before serving.
