Why You’ll Love These Apple Oat Pancakes

This recipe strips away refined sugars and heavy flours, replacing them with nutrient-dense alternatives:

  • Sweet Red Apple: Grating a fresh apple right into the batter provides natural sweetness and keeps the pancakes incredibly moist.

  • Oat Flour: A fantastic, fiber-rich alternative to regular flour that keeps you feeling fuller for longer.

  • Cinnamon: Adds a wonderful, warming spice that pairs perfectly with the baked apple flavor.

  • Melora Manuka Honey: The ultimate topping! Instead of sugary syrups, finishing your stack with our squeezy Manuka honey offers a natural energy boost and daily wellness support.

Ingredients

You only need a handful of pantry staples to whip up this quick breakfast:

  • 1 sweet red apple (grated and slightly squeezed)

  • 1 large egg

  • 3-4 tbsp oat flour (or simply blend rolled oats until fine)

  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • A pinch of cinnamon (optional, but highly recommended!)

  • A little oil or butter for the pan

  • Topping: Fresh berries (raspberries and blueberries) and Melora Manuka Honey Squeezy

Step-by-Step Instructions

Ready in just a few minutes, these pancakes are foolproof.

  1. Prep the Apple: Grate the sweet red apple. Pro tip: Gently squeeze out the excess liquid using your hands or a paper towel so your pancake batter doesn't become too watery.

  2. Mix the Batter: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the egg. Add the grated apple, oat flour, baking powder, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Mix everything together until well combined.

  3. Let it Rest: Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes. This is a crucial step! It allows the oat flour to absorb the moisture and thicken up, ensuring perfectly fluffy pancakes.

  4. Cook to Perfection: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly oil it. Spoon the batter into the pan to form your pancakes.

  5. Flip and Serve: Cook for a few minutes until the edges look set and the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.

The Perfect Golden Finish

Transfer your warm, fluffy pancakes to a plate and scatter some fresh raspberries and blueberries on top. Finally, drizzle generously with Melora Manuka Honey Squeezy. Our squeezy bottle makes it incredibly easy to add that perfect, mess-free golden finish to your breakfast.

Enjoy your deliciously healthy treat!
