👨🍳 How to Make It (Step-by-step)
Step 1: Grate the apple
Peel and grate 1 juicy apple into a mixing bowl.
💡A sweet apple like Gala or Honeycrisp adds natural flavour — no need to peel if organic.
Step 2: Add the oats
Add 1 cup + 3 tbsp (130 g) of oat flakes.
💡Use quick oats for softer texture or rolled oats for more bite.
Step 3: Crack in the egg
Add 1 egg and mix thoroughly.
💡Room temperature eggs blend better into the batter — and help the pancakes fluff up.
Step 4: Sweeten
Add 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt.
💡You can replace sugar with honey or erythritol for a healthier option.
Step 5: Add yoghurt
Stir in ⅔ cup (150 g) of plain yoghurt.
💡Greek-style yoghurt makes them creamier — feel free to experiment!
Step 6: Drizzle olive oil
Add a splash of olive oil to the batter and mix.
💡This adds richness and helps avoid sticking during frying.
Step 7: Heat the pan
Preheat a non-stick pan over low-medium heat and add a little olive oil.
💡A low flame prevents burning and gives a golden, even colour.
Step 8: Spoon the batter
Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot pan.
💡Wet your spoon slightly — the batter won’t stick as much.
Step 9: Cook covered
Fry under a lid until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes.
💡Covering traps steam and makes the pancakes rise beautifully.
Step 10: Flip and finish
Flip each pancake carefully and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes.
💡Don’t rush flipping — wait for bubbles to appear on the surface.
