Name: Apple Pie Oatmeal Pancakes
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 10 min
Yield: 1
Ingredients: 3/4 apple - for the pancakes; 30g rolled oats - for the pancakes; 1 egg - for the pancakes; 1/4 tsp cinnamon - for the pancakes; 1/8 tsp vanilla extract - for the pancakes; 1/4 tsp baking powder - for the pancakes; Pinch of salt - for the pancakes; 1/4 apple - for the cinnamon apple topping; 1/8 tsp cinnamon - for the cinnamon apple topping; 1 tbsp maple syrup - for the cinnamon apple topping

Dice apple, and put 3/4 in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 2 minutes. Let cool slightly, then put in a food processor / high speed blender along with the rest of the ingredients for the pancakes. Process until smooth.
Heat up a non-stick skillet on low heat. Spoon a ladleful of batter onto skillet, and cook for 1-2 minutes before flipping and cooking the other side for 1 minute. Repeat until you use up all the batter.
While waiting for the pancakes to cook, make your topping. Combine the rest of the diced apple with cinnamon and maple syrup in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for another minute.
Stack your finished pancakes, and top with the cinnamon apple topping and additional maple syrup if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

The cooked apple in the pancake batter serves as a great fat-replacer to keep these pancakes nice and moist without the need for oil. It also adds a touch of sweetness so there is no need for additional sweeteners as well. Plus it adds a healthy dose of fiber and vitamin C!
In addition to cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves are great spices to add to this as well if you want.
I peeled the apple but you can leave the skin on if you want. Note that the resulting pancake batter will not be as smooth though.
