ingredients

for the pancakes:

  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (or oats of choice)

  • ½ cup liquid egg whites

  • ½ cup nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • dash of ground cinnamon


for the filling:

  • 1 honey crisp apple, peeled and sliced

  • 1 tablespoon I can’t believe it’s not butter-light

  • 2 tablespoons sugar-free sweetener

  • dash of ground cinnamon

  • teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • 2 tablespoons water

  • 12 grams crunchy almond butter (or nut butter of choice)

directions

Step 1: Prep the Apple Filling

In a small bowl, mix the sugar-free sweetener, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Peel and slice the apples and set aside. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.


Step 2: Cook the Apples

Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the apples along with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender.


Step 3: Thicken the Filling

Pour in the cornstarch slurry and stir until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.


Step 4: Blend the Batter

Add all pancake ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.


Step 5: Stuff & Cook the Pancakes

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour ⅓ of the batter into the pan, add a spoonful of apple filling and a drizzle of almond butter, then cover with a little more batter (this prevents sticking). Cook for 1–2 minutes, flip, and cook another 1–2 minutes.


Step 6: Repeat & Finish

Repeat with the remaining batter to make about three 6-inch pancakes.


Step 7: Top & Serve

Finish with the remaining apple filling on top and serve warm. Enjoy every cozy, cinnamon-spiced bite!
