Servings 4 Pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1 large Fresh Apple
  • 1 large Egg
  • 5 tbsps Rolled Oats Flour simply grind rolled oats in a mixer grinder
  • 2 tbsps Rolled Oats optional, if you want smooth pancakes and not grainy oats then skip and simply increase flour
  • Butter/Oil for cooking
  • 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Pure Vanilla Exytact

Instructions

For Batter

  • Peel the apple and grate it in a bowl.
  • Crack an egg straight in a bowl or you can use a separate bowl and lightly whisk it first and then add to apple. Mix both well.
  • Tip in cinnamon and pure vanilla extract. Mix again.
  • Now add rolled oats flour and some rolled oats grains. Adding the grains is optional. I like to keep a bite and texture of rolled oats in pancakes. You can grind it if you want.
  • Mix till everything incorporates. Batter consistency should be thick.
  • Heat a nonstick to a medium heat. Brush it with some butter or oil. Pour 1 scoop or roughly 1/4th cup batter.
  • Cook till top sets and edges start to leave the pan. Takes roughly 2 minutes. Gently flip and cook the other side till golden brown. Cook the remaining batter similarly.
  • Serve pancakes hot and fresh with topping of your choice. For more serving suggestions check above.

Notes

    • You can swap apple with any other fruit of your choice like peach, strawberry or mango.
  1.  
    • You can also experiment with different flours- wholewheat flour or different millet flour.
  2.  
    • You can also substitute fruit with a vegetable like carrot or zucchini.
  3.  
    • I would prefer to make these pancakes in a non-stick pan instead of cast iron. It makes the handling easier. Sometimes gluten free pancakes with no leavening agents tend to stick to cast iron pan making a huge mess.
