Making these pancakes is very simple. Even beginners who have never cooked pancakes before can follow these steps easily.
Step 1 Prepare the apples
Start by washing the apples well under clean water. Remove the core and seeds from each apple. You can keep the peel on the apples because it contains fiber and nutrients. After removing the core, cut the apples into small pieces. Smaller pieces will blend more easily.
Step 2 Blend the ingredients
Place the chopped apples into a blender or food processor. Add one cup of rolled oats to the blender as well. Blend everything together until the mixture becomes smooth and thick. The apples release natural moisture which helps create the pancake batter.

If the mixture looks too thick, you can add a small spoon of water or milk to help blending. Blend again until the batter is smooth.
Step 3 Let the batter rest
After blending, pour the batter into a bowl. Let it rest for about five minutes. This short rest allows the oats to absorb moisture from the apples. The batter will become slightly thicker, which helps the pancakes cook better.
Step 4 Heat the pan
Place a non stick pan on medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of oil or butter. This prevents the pancakes from sticking and helps them cook evenly.
Step 5 Pour the batter
Use a spoon or small ladle to pour the batter onto the warm pan. Make small round pancakes. Do not make them too large because smaller pancakes are easier to flip.
Step 6 Cook the pancakes
Let the pancake cook for about two to three minutes. You will notice small bubbles forming on the surface and the bottom turning golden brown. This means the pancake is ready to flip.
Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula. Cook the other side for another two minutes until golden and cooked through.
Step 7 Continue cooking
Repeat the same process with the remaining batter until all pancakes are cooked. Place the cooked pancakes on a plate and keep them warm.
Step 8 Serve and enjoy
Your healthy apple oatmeal pancakes are now ready to enjoy. You can eat them plain or add toppings such as yogurt, honey, peanut butter, or fresh fruits.
