If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the oatmeal into a fine flour using a blender or food processor. Otherwise, leave it whole for a heartier pancake.
Step 2: Prepare the Apples
Peel and grate the apples. If they release a lot of juice, gently squeeze out the excess liquid.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:
- Eggs
- Yogurt
- Vanilla extract (if using)
Mix until smooth.
Step 4: Add the Dry Ingredients
Stir in:
- Oatmeal
- Baking powder
- Cinnamon (if using)
- Pinch of salt
Mix until everything is well combined.
Step 5: Fold in the Apples
Add the grated apples and stir until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6: Let the Batter Rest
Allow the batter to rest for 5–10 minutes so the oats can absorb moisture and thicken.
Step 7: Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
- Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or oil.
- Spoon about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake.
- Cook for 3–4 minutes, until bubbles appear and the edges begin to set.
- Flip carefully and cook for another 2–3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8: Serve
Enjoy the pancakes warm on their own or top with:
- Fresh berries
- Banana slices
- Chopped nuts
- A spoonful of Greek yogurt
- A drizzle of natural peanut butter
Tips
- Use sweet apples like Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp for the best natural sweetness.
- For extra protein, use Greek yogurt.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster or skillet before serving.
Note: While these pancakes are a nutritious, high-fiber breakfast that may help you feel full, there is no guarantee that eating them every day will result in weight loss or a 10 kg loss. Weight loss depends on overall calorie intake, physical activity, sleep, and other lifestyle factors.
