Ingredients
- 1½ cups rolled oats
- 1 small apple grated
- ½ cup grated carrot
- 1 cup milk any type
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Add rolled oats, milk, egg, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a blender.
- Blend until the oats break down and the mixture becomes a smooth pancake batter.
- Transfer the batter to a bowl and gently stir in the grated apple and grated carrot.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes so the oats absorb some liquid.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface.
- Flip the pancake and cook for 1–2 minutes more until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter and serve warm.
Notes
- Blend the oats thoroughly to create a smooth batter texture.
- Allow the batter to rest briefly so the oats soften and the pancakes cook evenly.
- Cook over medium heat to prevent burning while allowing the inside to cook through.
- These pancakes freeze well and can be reheated in a toaster or microwave.
