🍎 Healthy Apple and Oatmeal Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)

• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or any yogurt)

• 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

• 1 large egg

• 1 apple, peeled and grated

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1/4 tsp baking soda

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt

• Optional: 1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup for added sweetness

Instructions:

1. Soften the Oats:
   In a blender, add oats and pulse until finely ground (like flour).
   Add yogurt, milk, egg, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Blend until smooth. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes to thicken.

2. Add the Apple:
   Gently fold the grated apple into the batter. If you like extra texture, leave some small chunks.

3. Cook the Pancakes:
   Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a bit of oil or butter.
   Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

4. Serve:
   Stack them up and top with more grated apple, a drizzle of maple syrup or honey, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a dollop of yogurt.
