There’s something about Saturday mornings that feels just a little bit magical. The kind of day where you want to linger in bed just a little longer, with the sunlight softly streaming through the curtains.
On days like this, I love whipping up something that’s not just easy but also brings a sense of comfort to the table. These Apple Oat Pancakes have become a weekend favorite in my home. They’re quick, require only a handful of ingredients, and are perfect for sharing with your loved ones.
I remember the first time I made these pancakes—my niece was visiting, and she had just started eating solids. I wanted to make something that we could both enjoy together, and that’s how these pancakes became our little tradition. It’s amazing how food can connect generations, don’t you think?
🥞 Ingredients
- 1 cup oats
- 1/2 cup milk of your choice
- 1/2 an apple
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional, but it adds a lovely warmth!)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Blend It Up: Start by adding the oats, milk, apple, and cinnamon into a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. It should be a thick, pourable batter.
- Heat and Cook: Heat a pan on medium, then reduce it to low-medium. Add a little coconut oil (or your preferred cooking oil) to the pan. Pour in the batter to create small, round pancakes. Cook each side until it’s golden brown. You’ll know it’s time to flip when bubbles start to form on the surface.
- Cool and Serve: Once cooked, remove the pancakes and let them cool for a minute or two. I like to serve them with fresh strawberries, a dollop of yogurt, and a sprinkle of desiccated coconut for a bit of texture.
