Instructions
Wash and dice the apple.
Take the blender and add all ingredients except the apple and hemp seeds. Note: add wet ingredients first for easier blending.
Blend on high until the batter is smooth (about 1-2 minutes).
Mix in hemp seeds. Use spatula.
Let the batter rest for 1-2 minute.
Meantime, heat pancake pan over medium heat and coat with coconut oil cooking spray or coconut oil using the brush.
For each pancake, drop ¼ cup of batter into the pan.
Top the pancake with diced apple. Push the apple chunks into the batter.
Cook 2-3 minutes, until pancake is lightly browned.
Flip the pancake carefully with flexible silicone spatula and cook another 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Make sure to coat the pan before every pancake or batch of pancakes to prevent sticking.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve pancakes immediately, topped with diced apples and mix of dried fruits and chopped nuts. I used dried cranberries and walnuts.
Notes
Makes 6 pancakes that serve 3 people.Substitutions
You can use rolled oats or quick oats here.
You can swap oat milk for almond milk, cashew milk, or organic soy milk. Cow’s milk works fine here too. Coconut milk won’t work well here.
You can substitute maple syrup and use honey. Date syrup or molasses are a great option too. Note that using date syrup or molasses will turn pancakes dark in color.
You can substitute coconut oil with avocado oil.
You can substitute hemp seeds with ground flax seeds or chia seeds.
Omit nutmeg if you find it too aromatic.
Instead of cinnamon and nutmeg, you can use a pumpkin pie spice mix.
Make it vegan: Swap egg with a flax or chia egg. Use non-dairy milk.
Make it gluten-free: Use certified gluten-free oats.
Tips for storing
Keep oatmeal pancakes in an air-tight food container refrigerated. They will last up to 4 days.
To freeze pancakes: Take the pancakes and place each pancake individually in a wax paper bag or stack between wax paper. Store wrapped pancakes in a large freezer zip-lock bag. Keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw on room temperature.
Pancakes can be warmed in the microwave. Don't overheat them.
As a measure, I used a US cup (240ml).See "Recipe tips" for more info.
