Equipment

  • 1 griddle you could also use the Dash mini griddle

Ingredients
  

  • 2  small apples or one large peeled and cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 2 tablespoon apple butter
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ¾ cup plant-based milk I use almond milk (unsweetened)
  • non stick cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • In a medium size bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt).
  • In a separate smaller bowl, combine egg, sugar, apple butter and milk and whisk together.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently fold together until combined. Do not over mix. Set aside.
  • Heat a small sauté pan on medium heat. In the pan combine the apples with the apple butter. Allow apples to soften about 3-4 minutes then remove from heat.
  • Spray a non-stick griddle with cooking spray and heat on medium heat.
  • Pour ¼-½ cup batter (depending how large you'd like your pancakes) onto griddle. Add a teaspoon or so of the apples right onto the pancake batter. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown then flip and cook the other side.
  • Serve warm with syrup or your favorite pancake toppings and enjoy!

Notes

This batter makes about 6 pancakes using the ¼ cup batter measurement. If using the Dash mini pancake maker, I tend to fill it with about ½ cup batter to get a nice fluffy pancake. In that, case it makes exactly 4.
