Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup Non-dairy milk (or regular milk)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Optional: Maple syrup or honey for serving
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, pulse the rolled oats until they become a fine flour. This will give the pancakes a smooth texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick but pourable. If it’s too thick, add a tablespoon of non-dairy milk at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If necessary, lightly coat it with a non-stick cooking spray or use a small amount of water to prevent sticking.
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use a spoon to spread the batter into a circle if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve warm with optional toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or honey if desired.
