Apple and Walnut Oat Pancakes
These apple and walnut oat pancakes are a lovely, wholesome option for a relaxed weekend breakfast or a healthy snack during the day. They’re naturally sweetened with apple, so there’s no added sugar, and they have a soft texture with a bit of crunch from the walnuts. They’re easy to adapt too—use gluten-free oats if needed, and swap the egg for a flax egg to make them vegan. Simple, filling and full of flavour, they’re the kind of pancakes you can enjoy any time.
Ingredients
Method
- Place the oats, baking powder, spices, chopped apple and egg in a blender. Add most of the oat milk and blend until you have a thick, slightly textured batter.
- Add more oat milk if needed—the mixture should be thick but pourable. If you have time, let it rest for about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped walnuts.
- Heat a non-stick or heavy-based frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with oil.
- Spoon dollops of the batter into the pan and gently spread them into circles using the back of a spoon.
- Cook for a couple of minutes, until the surface starts to set, then carefully flip and cook for another minute or so until golden.
- Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve warm with your favourite toppings—such as yogurt, fruit or a drizzle of maple syrup.
