I’ve been a fan of oat-banana pancakes for a while, but recently I’ve found myself being bored with it.

Also, bananas do contain a bit more sugar and less nutrition than other fruits, so I decided to look into other options to make my breakfast pancakes with.

Turns out, that apples are even better! They have less carbs and generally cheaper, than bananas. Just make sure to choose a sweet variety (I used Red Delicious).

Now, to make this pancakes, you will need the following ingredients:

• oats or oat flour (I always use oat flour for pancakes to make the texture smoother)
• 6 oz sweet apple (or 170 g) – peeled and chopped
• water (any sort of liquid is fine, but water is the healthiest and the cheapest 😉 )
• baking powder
• optional:
• maple syrup, vanilla extract, spices

When you have measured out all the ingredients, put everything in a blender and blend for around 15 seconds. Don’t over blend!

Now let the batter sit for around 15 minutes. (This part is important to make your pancakes fluffy!)

After 15 minutes you can start making the pancakes. You can use a non-stick pan in which case you won’t need oil, or if you don’t have a non-stick pan, just heat 1 tsp oil on medium heat in a pancake pan.

Cook the pancakes on each side until they are golden brown, then let them cool a bit before eating.

And now that your pancakes have been cooked, comes the best part. The toppings! I highly recommend cutting up an apple and eating your pancakes with it. The fresh, juicy apple chunks go SO nice with the fluffy pancakes.

Here are my favorite toppings:

• for weight loss: 2 tsp of maple syrup or 1 tbsp nut butter
• for maximum enjoyment: lots of maple syrup and even more salted caramel, haha (I used Nature’s Charm Coconut Salted Caramel Sauce. – not sponsored, btw. I just really like it.)
• for maximum healthy enjoyment: my clean-eating salted caramel (made from dates).

That’s it! Dig in!
