Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a blender, add all of the wet ingredients; applesauce, yogurt, milk, egg, vanilla extract, and maple syrup, then add the dry ingredients on top; rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  2. Turn on the blender and blitz for 30 seconds to 1 minute until well combined. If your batter is too thick, just add a couple more tablespoons of milk and blend again until the desired texture is reached. The batter should be slightly thick and lumpy, and should easily run off a spoon, but not too runny.
  3. Preheat a nonstick skillet, griddle, or pan to medium heat and melt a knob of butter onto it. Pour roughly ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle or pan for each pancake. Cook until the pancakes are lightly bubbling on top, then flip and cook them for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Continue this process until all of the remaining batter has been used. You can keep the cooked pancakes warm by placing them on a baking sheet in the oven at 200°F.
  5. Once cooked, the pancakes can be served immediately with a dollop of yogurt, maple syrup, and chopped apple. Any leftover applesauce pancakes can be cooled and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
