Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup milk, plus more as needed
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Butter, for cooking
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
