I have used rolled oats which are blended into a powder before adding the remaining ingredients and blending until smooth.

What apples can I use to make these pancakes?

I have used a red honey crisp apple with the skin. The apple needs to be cooked in the microwave for 2-3 minutes until soft. I have not tried it with green apples but they tend to be more tart so I would suggest using a red apple instead. Now I like to add a tiny amount of baking soda and lemon juice to make them extra fluffy but you don’t NEED it in this recipe as it works well without it too.

How to make healthy apple cinnamon pancakes?

Cut the apple in to small cubes and place in a bowl, transfer to the microwave and cook for 2-3 minutes on until soft and mushy. In a blender add the oats and blend until smooth. Add the eggs, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and mushy apples, blend together until smooth. Allow the batter to sit for a couple of minutes while you heat up a sauté pan on medium heat. The pancake batter will feel thicker, pour 1/4th cup of pancake batter into the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes or until you see bubbles rise to the surface, flip the pancake and cook for 1-2 minutes on the other side. Transfer to a plate and serve with maple syrup, butter and more cinnamon.

They are best served warm with maple syrup or honey, more cinnamon powder and salted butter. You could serve it with more fresh fruit like blueberries or chopped plums. If you are feeling indulgent add chocolate chips. As it is a breakfast recipe pair it with tea, coffee or fresh juice. I have added peanut butter and honey to make this pancake even more yummy. The leftovers can be stored in zip lock bags in the fridge for 3-4 days and in the freezer for 2 weeks. When ready to eat, remove from the bags and microwave for 30 seconds or until warmed through.
