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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
