Not too long ago, I had made this Easy Baked Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal and I wanted to try some new flavors. I decided to build upon that same recipe but make them into pancakes. Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes to be exact.

I didn’t have any apple pie spice on hand, so I just made my own. It includes 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1/4 tsp each allspice, nutmeg, ginger and 1/8 tsp of cardamom. You can adjust this to your own taste preferences. I used about 1/2 tsp of this mixture, but I also made a small batch of pancakes today. This makes about 4 medium pancakes however, it’s easily doubled or even tripled to serve a larger family.

The first thing we need to do is peel and core one medium apple. I then finely diced it.

Place the diced apples into a saute pan with coconut oil or vegan margarine and a sprinkle of your spice mix. Saute until tender.

While the apples are sauteeing, I combined the dry ingredients. Once the apples were ready, I add those and the almond milk. Whisk to combine and allow to sit for 5 minutes so the baking powder can react and the oats can begin to soften. Give it one more stir before using.

I used a large cookie scoop to add the batter to a preheated non-stick pan lightly coated with cooking spray. You will need to coax the batter around a bit as it is quite thick.

I saved a few apple slices for presentation but I had also reserved some of the sauteed apples to add on top. Pure maple syrup completes the dish!
