Prep Time

Cook Time
- 10–12 minutes
Total Time
- 15 minutes
Servings
- 2–3 servings
Ingredients
- 150g apple (coarsely grated)
- 2 eggs
- 20g rice syrup or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 120ml sparkling water
- 150g Greek yogurt
- 30–40g oats
- 120g flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, rice syrup (or maple syrup), and sparkling water until smooth.
- Add the grated apple, oats, flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Mix until just combined—the batter should be slightly lumpy but not overmixed.
Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of oil or butter if needed.
- Scoop about 2–3 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the skillet, spreading it slightly to form round shapes.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes , or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 3: Serve
- Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm.
- Top with extra Greek yogurt, a drizzle of syrup, or additional grated apple for added flavor and texture.
Pro Tips
- Add-ins: Stir in a handful of chopped nuts, seeds, or raisins for extra crunch and nutrition.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free oats and flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Make Ahead: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days . Reheat in a toaster or microwave for a quick breakfast.
- Sparkling Water Substitute: If you don’t have sparkling water, regular milk or water works too, though the pancakes may be slightly less fluffy.
