How to Make Applesauce Oat Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups rolled oats, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1 large egg, 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
  3. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
  5. Lightly spray a griddle or large frying pan with non-stick cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
  6. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as apple butter, maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
