Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup certified gluten-free oat flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or melted butter
  • 1 medium apple grated (peeled if preferred)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk and spatula
  • Grater
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Non-stick skillet or griddle
  • Ladle or scoop

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine oat flour, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
  3. Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Fold in grated apple. The batter should be thick but pourable; add a splash of milk if needed.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or cooking spray.
  6. Scoop about 1/4 cup batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve warm topped with extra apple slices, cinnamon, or maple syrup.

Notes

Ensure your oats are certified gluten-free to keep the pancakes completely wheatless.
These pancakes pair beautifully with yogurt, nut butter, or fresh fruit.
You can make them dairy-free by using plant-based milk and coconut oil.
Extra pancakes can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month and reheated in a toaster.
