Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

By Shannon Smith, RD

These fluffy pancakes are packed with whole grains, protein foods, and fruit. Using a blender or  food processor, makes this balanced meal come together quickly. Applesauce makes the pancakes subtly sweet, so a small drizzle of maple syrup could be sweet enough. Try topped with plain Greek yogurt for added protein-rich foods, and fresh fruit.

Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

1.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
4 eggs
½ cup milk of choice
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups rolled oats (or quick oats)
4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
½  tsp salt
Olive oil (for cooking)

For the toppings:

Greek Yogurt (plain)
2 cups fruit of choice, sliced

  1. To a high-powered blender or food processor, add all ingredients, and blend on high until smooth (about 1 minute). Scrape down sides to ensure all ingredients are mixed well.
  2. Heat a pan on medium heat, add 1 tsp olive oil.
  3. Once pan is warm, spoon the batter into the pan, and cook for about 2-4 minutes until bubbles appear. The batter will be thick, if it’s too thick, a little extra milk and blend.
