Description

These Feel-Good Oatmeal Blender Apple Carrot Pancakes are a wholesome and delicious breakfast option that combines the natural sweetness of grated apples and carrots with nutritious oats. Made easily in a blender, these pancakes are quick to prepare and have a tender texture thanks to the pureed fruits and veggies. Perfect for a nutritious start to your day, they are lightly spiced with cinnamon and can be enjoyed topped with your favorite syrup or nut butter.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
  • ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup grated carrot (about 1 large carrot)
  • 1 cup grated apple (about 1 large apple)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats (use gluten free if needed)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Puree Wet Ingredients: Combine the eggs, milk, honey or maple syrup, avocado oil, vanilla extract, grated carrots, and grated apple into a high-speed blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and the apple and carrots are fully pureed.
  2. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt into the blender with the pureed mixture. Blend again until the batter is smooth and the oats are finely ground into a flour-like texture. If you don’t have a high-speed blender, blend the oats alone first until fine, then mix in the wet ingredients separately as detailed in the notes.
  3. Heat Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking. Allow it to warm thoroughly before cooking the pancakes.
  4. Cook Pancakes: Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, pour portions of the batter onto the hot skillet. Cook each pancake for about 3 minutes on the first side or until you see bubbles forming on the surface and edges are set. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Add more oil as needed between batches to ensure pancakes don’t stick.
  5. Serve: Enjoy the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or nut butter.
  6. Storage: Cool any leftovers completely and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • If you don’t have a high-speed blender, blend the oats separately first to create oat flour, then blend the wet ingredients with grated carrot and apple in a separate batch before combining them.
  • You can substitute the milk with any plant-based or regular milk according to your preference.
  • Use gluten-free oats if you need the recipe to be gluten free.
  • Adjust sweetness by modifying the amount or type of sweetener (honey or maple syrup).
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for extra spice if desired.
  • These pancakes are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently in a skillet or microwave.
