- Rolled Oats – I use old fashioned rolled oats and blitz them in a blender to make oat flour or you can buy pre-made oat flour
- Eggs
- Apples – MacInstosh, Gala or Fuji are my first choice but any type of apple will work. Shred them or chop them if you like more texture
- Walnuts or pecans for texture and protein
- cinnamon
- nutmeg
- Baking Powder
- Vanilla
- High Speed Blender or food processor to blitz the oats
How to Make Apple Oatmeal Pancakes
- Prepare the ingredients; chop or grate the apples, and blend the rolled oats in a high speed blender
- Add the oat flour to a mixing bowl along with the other dry ingredients
- Add the egg, milk and vanilla to the mixing bowl
- Stir in the apples
- Heat a skillet and cook the pancakes
How to Freeze Oatmeal Pancakes
Pancakes freeze wonderfully, so be sure to make an extra batch and freeze the leftovers. Here’s how:
- cover a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper
- place the pancakes in a single layer on the parchment lined pan and place them in the freezer.
- remove the frozen pancakes from the tray and place them into a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months
Tips and Variations
- Vegan Oatmeal Pancakes – replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal combined with 2 tablespoons water) and use your favorite nut milk in place of dairy milk
- Change up the Fruit – Replace the apples with fresh or frozen, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries or cranberries
