Ingredients

1cupapple sauce

1cupold-fashioned oats

1egg

2tbspcoconut oil,or butter, melted

1tbspbaking powder

1tspmaple syrup,or honey

1tspvanilla extract

½tspground cinnamon

¼tspsalt

1cuptart apple,grated

Preparation

Place all the ingredients except for the grated apple in your blender. Blend until the batter is completely smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides as necessary.

Stir in the grated apple but do not blend again.

Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet/non-stick pan over medium-low heat, or heat an electric griddle to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil the surface of your pan with coconut oil, butter, or cooking spray.

Once the surface of the pan is hot enough that a drop of water sizzles on it, pour about ⅓ cup of batter onto the pan.

Let the pancake cook for about 3 minutes, until bubbles are popping up and the edges are more matte than shiny.

Once the underside is lightly golden, flip it with a spatula and cook for another 90 seconds or so, until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with remaining pancakes.

Serve the pancakes immediately or keep warm in a 200-degree F oven.
