Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Rolled oats
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or other plant milk)
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Shredded apple (peeled and grated)
• 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or vegan butter for cooking

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, stir together the almond milk, maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Fold in the shredded apple and chopped nuts gently into the batter.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or vegan butter.

Step 6

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter slightly into a round shape.

Step 7

Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 9

Serve the pancakes warm with additional maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of vegan yogurt, if desired.
