Ingredients
Scale
- 1 egg
- 1 apple (sliced)
- ½ cup (120 ml) oats (ground)
- 2 tbsps honey
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
- 1 tbsp yogurt
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ⅓ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp chopped walnuts or almonds
- Coconut oil (for cooking)
- Fruit (optional)
- Honey (optional)
- Nuts (optional)

Instructions
- Blend Wet Ingredients: Pulverize apple, egg, honey, and melted coconut oil in a blender until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Combine Dry Components: Mix ground oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and vanilla extract into the blended mixture, creating a smooth, well-incorporated batter.
- Enhance Texture: Gently fold chopped nuts throughout the batter, ensuring even distribution without disrupting the mixture’s delicate structure.
- Prepare Cooking Surface: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium temperature, lightly coating with coconut oil to prevent adherence.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour small batter portions onto the heated pan, forming compact pancakes. Watch for bubble formation across the surface, signaling the moment to flip. Cook each side until golden and crisp (approximately 1-1.5 minutes per side).
- Serve and Garnish: Transfer pancakes to a serving plate, repeating the cooking process until batter is exhausted. Embellish with optional toppings like fresh fruits, additional nuts, honey drizzle, yogurt, or whipped cream for an elevated culinary experience.
Notes
- Blend Smartly: Pulse ingredients gradually to prevent over-mixing and maintain a light, fluffy pancake texture.
- Temperature Control: Keep skillet at medium heat to ensure even cooking without burning the delicate batter.
- Nut Distribution Technique: Fold nuts gently to maintain batter consistency and prevent sinking to the bottom.
- Topping Creativity: Experiment with various toppings like Greek yogurt, fresh berries, or maple syrup to enhance flavor complexity.
