Ingredients
- 1 medium apple, grated (peeled or unpeeled)
- 150 g plain yogurt (5.3 oz)
- 1 large egg
- 100 g flour (wheat flour or oat flour) (3.5 oz)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Optional:
- A pinch of cinnamon
- A dash of vanilla extract
Preparation Time, Cooking Time & Serving
- Preparation Time: 5 minutes
- Cooking Time: 5 minutes
- Rest Time: None
- Serving: 6–8 small pancakes
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Apple
Wash the apple thoroughly and grate it using a coarse grater. If the apple is very juicy, gently squeeze out excess liquid to prevent the batter from becoming too thin.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg until lightly beaten. Add the yogurt and mix until smooth and creamy. Stir in the grated apple, making sure it is evenly distributed.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
Add the flour and baking powder to the bowl. If using cinnamon or vanilla extract, add them at this stage. Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes soft and fluffy.
Step 4: Heat the Pan
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of oil or butter.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
Spoon small portions of batter into the pan to form pancakes. Cook for 1–2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip carefully using a spatula.
Step 6: Serve
Remove from the pan and serve warm. Repeat until all the batter is used.
Texture and Flavor Profile
These apple oat pancakes are soft on the inside with a lightly golden exterior. The grated apple adds moisture and natural sweetness, while the yogurt contributes a subtle tang and tender texture.
