TLDR;
This video demonstrates how to make both apple pancakes and apple pie using a simple oat-based batter. The key is to blend apples into a sauce and combine them with oat flour, eggs, and a touch of almond butter. The batter can be used immediately for pancakes or stored overnight in the fridge for an apple pie.
- Oat flour is used as the base for the batter.
- Applesauce is made by blending peeled apples with water.
- Almond butter adds richness to the batter.
- The batter can be used for both pancakes and pie.
Making the Batter [0:07]
To create the batter, start by grinding one cup of oats into a coarse flour. This oat flour doesn't need to be sifted, which simplifies the process. The coarse oats will soften during cooking. Then, peel and blend four medium-sized apples with one cup of water to create a runny applesauce.
Combining Ingredients for Pancakes [0:29]
In a bowl, mix the oat flour with the prepared applesauce. Add two eggs and a touch of vanilla extract for flavor. Instead of vegetable oil, incorporate one tablespoon of almond butter to enrich the batter. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Cooking the Pancakes [2:41]
Heat a pan with oil for frying. Cook the pancakes over low heat to ensure they cook through without burning. Flip the pancake after a few minutes and cook for about one more minute on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
Preparing the Apple Pie Filling [3:38]
For the apple pie, slice two more juicy apples. Spray oil in a pan and add one tablespoon of maple syrup, spreading it evenly. Arrange the apple slices in the pan to form an even layer over the syrup.
Assembling and Cooking the Apple Pie [4:25]
Pour the batter, which has rested overnight in the fridge, over the apple layer in the pan. Cover the pan with a lid and cook over very low heat for about 15 minutes. Flip the pie and cook for another 10 minutes. Optionally, add a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
