How to Make Apple Oat Cakes
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup melted butter, and 1 cup rolled oats. Let the mixture stand for 20 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
- Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 large eggs to the oat mixture.
- Beat the mixture with a whisk or electric mixer until well blended and slightly frothy.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of shredded apples (about 2 medium apples).
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each cake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, vanilla yogurt, and chopped walnuts.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
