Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes {Vegan}

Not too long ago, I had made this Easy Baked Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal and I wanted to try some new flavors. I decided to build upon that same recipe but make them into pancakes.  Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes to be exact.

I didn’t have any apple pie spice on hand, so I just made my own.  It includes 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1/4 tsp each allspice, nutmeg, ginger and 1/8 tsp of cardamom.  You can adjust this to your own taste preferences. I used about 1/2 tsp of this mixture, but I also made a small batch of pancakes today.  This makes about 4 medium pancakes however, it’s easily doubled or even tripled to serve a larger family.

The first thing we need to do is peel and core one medium apple.  I then finely diced it.

Place the diced apples into a saute pan with coconut oil or vegan margarine and a sprinkle of your spice mix. Saute until tender.

While the apples are sauteeing, I combined the dry ingredients.  Once the apples were ready, I add those and the almond milk.  Whisk to combine and allow to sit for 5 minutes so the baking powder can react and the oats can begin to soften.  Give it one more stir before using.

I used a large cookie scoop to add the batter to a preheated non-stick pan lightly coated with cooking spray. You will need to coax the batter around a bit as it is quite thick.

I saved a few apple slices for presentation but I had also reserved some of the sauteed apples to add on top. Pure maple syrup completes the dish!

• 2/3 C plus 2 Tbl Quick-Cooking Oats
• 1 Tbl Brown Sugar
• 1 Tbl Sugar
• 1/2 C Almond MIlk
• 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
• pinch of Salt
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla
• 1/2 tsp Apple Pie Spice
• *****
• TO MAKE YOUR OWN APPLE PIE SPICE:
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp Ginger
• 1/4 tsp Allspice
• 1/8 tsp Cardamom

Instructions

• Peel and core 1 medium apple. Cut into a fine dice.
• In a small non-stick saute pan, add oil (or vegan margarine), the diced apples and a sprinkle of your spice mixture.
• Saute on medium-high heat until tender. Take care not to let the mixture get too dry. Add a smidge more oil/margarine if necessary.
• Meanwhile, combine your dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Once the apples are tender, add these to the dry ingredients along with almond milk and vanilla.
• Whisk to combine and allow to sit for about 5 minutes. This will help the oatmeal absorb the liquids and also give the baking powder time to activate for nice, puffy pancakes.
• Using the same saute pan, spray with cooking spray.
• Add batter to the pan and spread around with the back of the scoop or a spoon to form the pancake.
• Allow to cook on one side until golden and slightly set before flipping.
• Serve with reserved apples or apple slices and pure maple syrup.
• This recipe makes four medium pancakes, but can be easily doubled or tripled.
