Ingredients You’ll Need
- A crisp, sweet, and ripe apple is the key ingredient.
- Overripe banana makes the pancakes moist, fluffy and sweet.
- Coconut milk or any other plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat) to bring the batter together.
- Rolled Oats replace the all-purpose or wheat flour in this pancake recipe. Use gluten-free, if required.
- Ground Flaxseed is the vegan replacement for eggs and enhances the nutritional value of pancakes.
- Brown sugar/maple syrup/agave syrup to sweeten the batter. It is optional as apples and bananas are the natural sweeteners.
- A pinch of salt, cinnamon and green cardamom powder for flavouring.
How To Make Apple Pancakes
Step 1: Prepare the dry ingredients
- In a blender, add rolled oats, flaxseeds, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, cinnamon and cardamom powder.
- Blend to a fine powder consistency.
Step 2: Add ABC
- Now add finely chopped apples, bananas, and coconut milk to the blender.
- Blend one last time to get evenly combined pancake batter.
- Transfer the batter to a bowl.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little coconut oil.
- Once hot, pour about ¼ cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Serving Suggestion
Once cooked, stack your pancakes on a plate and top them with caramelised apples, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. If you like a little crunch, add some chopped nuts on top! You can serve them with your favourite nut butter also.
My Tried and True Tips
- Don’t Overmix : Overmixing can lead to dense pancakes. Blend until just combined for fluffiness.
- Adjust Consistency : If the batter seems too thick, add a splash of more plant-based milk. If it’s too thin, add a bit more oat flour.
- Keep Warm : If you’re making a large batch, keep the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (about 200°F or 95°C) while you finish cooking the rest.
