Ingredients

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup rolled oats (certified gluten free if needed)
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • tsp salt
  • 1 ½ tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 large apples, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

Directions:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Place rolled oats in a food processor. Pulse several times until the oats develop a coarse flour consistency.  Set aside for a moment.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, applesauce, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla.
  • Add the pulsed oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Whisk until the batter is smooth, then set aside for now.
  • Heat the cast iron skillet over medium heat, and add the coconut oil. When the coconut oil is melted and hot, add the apples and saute for 4-5 minutes, or until they start to soften a bit.
  • Add the brown sugar to the skillet and cook for another minute. Turn off heat.
  • Pour the bowl of pancake batter into the skillet over the apples, and place the skillet in the preheated oven. Cook at 425 degrees F for 17-20 minutes, or until the mixture is cooked through and a toothpick pulls out clean from the center. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The texture of this skillet pancake is a bit more eggy and dense than traditional pancakes – but still so delicious!
  • Feel free to top with maple syrup, peanut butter, or any other toppings of your choice.
