Equipment
- 1 Cast Iron Skillet (or skillet of choice)
Ingredients
Apple-Oat Pancakes
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamon
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 dash sea salt
- 1/2 cup oat milk (unsweetened)
- 1 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 apple (chopped)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Mixed Berry Coulis
- 2 cups organic mixed berries (if using frozen berries thaw and drain)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (or more to adjust to a desired level of sweetness)

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Apple-Oat Pancakes
- In a bowl, combine oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom and sea salt. Mix well. Add milk, vanilla, apple cider vinegar, and 1/2 cup water and whisk until well combined. Add the chopped apple and mix well. Let the batter stand for 3-5 minutes to thicken.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes until hot, then reduce to low and let the skillet rest for a few minutes more. For each pancake, ladle about 1/4 cup batter into the skillet. Cook until small bubbles start to form on the outer edge and then the center of each, this takes a few minutes. Flip the pancake then cook for a few minutes on the other side.
- Serve pancakes with a warm mixed berry coulis and coconut kefir, if desired. Enjoy!
Mixed Berry Coulis
- Place the mixed berries, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and maple syrup in a high-powered blender and blend until smooth.
- Store berry coulis in a sealed glass jar and refrigerate for up to four days.
