Introduction

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes are a cozy breakfast treat that combines wholesome oats with the warm flavors of apple and cinnamon. These pancakes are fluffy, naturally sweetened, and perfect for a family morning or weekend brunch.

A stack of five thick, golden-brown pancakes with a slightly rough texture sits in the center of a white plate with delicate gold lines. On top, there are two square pats of pale yellow butter melting slightly, with golden syrup dripping down the sides of the pancakes and pooling around the base. To the left, two cinnamon sticks lie on the plate. A golden fork with a black handle rests on the right side of the plate, which is set on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 cups oat flour (or 2 cups rolled oats, regular or gluten free)
2 large eggs
1 cup milk of choice (whole milk recommended)
1 medium apple (Fuji or Gala preferred)
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon oil
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

Step 1: If using rolled oats, process them in a food processor or high-powered blender until a fine flour consistency forms.
Step 2: Transfer the oat flour to a mixing bowl and whisk in the baking powder and sea salt.
Step 3: In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, apple, cinnamon, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and oil. Blend until smooth and fully combined.
Step 4: Pour the wet mixture into the oat flour mixture and whisk gently to combine. Avoid over mixing. Adjust the batter consistency by adding more milk if it’s too thick, or more oat flour if it’s too thin. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes.
Step 5: Heat a lightly greased griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle.
Step 6: Cook until bubbles form around the edges, then carefully flip the pancakes.
Step 7: Continue cooking until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8: Serve warm with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

For extra spice, add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the batter.
Use applesauce instead of fresh apple for a smoother texture and quicker blending.
Try substituting maple syrup with honey or agave nectar for a different sweetness profile.
Gluten-free oats can be used to make this recipe suitable for gluten-sensitive diets.

Storage

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a toaster or microwave until heated through. For longer storage, pancakes freeze well—separate layers with parchment paper and freeze in a sealed bag for up to 2 months.
