Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 ml) rolled oats
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 medium apple
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) almond flour
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk
Spices and Seasonings:
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Binding and Cooking Agents:
- 2 tablespoons stevia or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Transform rolled oats into a fine powder using a food processor, creating a delicate flour substitute for the pancake base.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blend ground oats, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, ensuring even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Completely mash the ripe banana in a separate container, then integrate eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract until achieving a smooth, homogeneous liquid.
- Finely grate the apple to eliminate large pieces, then incorporate into the wet mixture along with chia seeds and chosen sweetener.
- Merge wet and dry ingredients with a gentle stirring motion, avoiding excessive mixing that could deflate the batter’s potential volume.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes, allowing chia seeds to absorb moisture and enhance the mixture’s binding properties.
- Prepare a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, lightly coating with coconut oil to prevent adhesion.
- Carefully deposit small batter portions onto the heated surface, monitoring for bubble formation and edge drying, which typically takes 2-3 minutes.
- Execute a precise flip, cooking the reverse side for an additional 1-2 minutes until achieving a golden-brown complexion.
- Plate the completed pancakes and continue the cooking process, adjusting heat to maintain optimal browning without scorching.
Notes
- Oat Grinding Tip: Pulverize oats completely to avoid grainy texture, ensuring ultra-smooth pancake consistency.
- Moisture Balance: Let batter rest to allow chia seeds to absorb liquid, creating better pancake structure and preventing dryness.
- Temperature Control: Use medium-low heat to prevent burning and achieve even golden-brown pancakes without scorching.
- Dietary Adaptations: Easily swap ingredients for gluten-free (use certified gluten-free oats), dairy-free (use plant-based milk), or vegan (replace eggs with flax eggs) versions.
