Ingredients

Pancakes

  • 1 cup (90 g) oat flour (gluten-free if needed)
  • 2/3 cup (160 g) lite canned coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup (80 g) applesauce
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar (optional)

Apple filling

Instructions

  • You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.
    Pour the coconut milk, apple cider vinegar, and applesauce into a bowl and stir with a whisk.
  • Add the baking powder, oat flour, and coconut sugar and stir with a spatula until combined.
  • Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat. Spoon some of the batter (I use one heaping ice cream scoop) into the hot skillet and cook the pancake on low to medium from both sides until golden brown. Repeat this step with the remaining batter.
  • Add all ingredients for the apple filling to a saucepan and stir with a spoon until the cornstarch fully dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and let simmer for a few minutes, stirring frequently. Add more plant-based milk if the mixture gets too thick.
  • Serve the pancakes with the apple filling and enjoy!

Notes

  • Oat flour: If you don't have oat flour, simply process oats (regular or certified gluten-free oats) in a blender or electric spice/coffee grinder until you have oat flour.
  • You can use buckwheat flour instead of oat flour. You might need to adjust the amount of plant-based milk though.
  • Canned coconut milk: If you don't want to use canned coconut milk, you can use any other plant-based milk instead with the addition of 1-2 tablespoons oil!
  • Applesauce: 80 g of mashed banana works as well in this recipe.
  • Coconut sugar: Any other sweetener like regular sugar is fine.
