A Nutritious Breakfast You Can Eat Every Day

These oatmeal–apple pancakes are a perfect example of how simple, natural ingredients can create a filling, delicious, and healthy breakfast. Made without white flour or refined sugar, they rely on the natural sweetness of apples and the wholesome nutrition of oats, eggs, and yogurt. This recipe is ideal for anyone trying to eat clean, lose weight, or maintain a balanced lifestyle — and the fact that you’ve lost 10 kg eating this regularly shows just how effective it can be when combined with consistency.

These pancakes are soft on the inside, lightly crisp on the outside, and naturally sweet. They work beautifully for breakfast, brunch, or even as a healthy snack during the day.

Ingredients (Simple and Natural)

You only need five basic ingredients, most of which are probably already in your kitchen:

  • 1 cup oatmeal (rolled oats or quick oats)

  • 2 apples (medium-sized, sweet varieties work best)

  • 2 eggs

  • 150 g yogurt (plain, unsweetened)

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Optional (Not Required, But Allowed)

  • A pinch of cinnamon

  • A pinch of salt

  • A little oil or butter for the pan

Why These Ingredients Work So Well Together

Oatmeal

Oatmeal replaces flour in this recipe. It provides:

  • Slow-digesting carbohydrates

  • Fiber that keeps you full longer

  • A soft but structured texture once cooked

Oats help stabilize blood sugar, making this breakfast especially good for sustained energy throughout the morning.

Apples

Apples bring:

  • Natural sweetness (no sugar needed)

  • Moisture

  • Fiber and vitamins

Eggs

Eggs act as:

  • A binding agent

  • A source of protein

  • A way to create fluffy texture

Yogurt

Yogurt adds:

  • Moisture

  • A slight tang that balances the sweetness

  • Softness and tenderness

It also reacts with baking powder to help the pancakes rise.

Baking Powder

This is what gives the pancakes their lightness. Without it, they would be dense and heavy.

Equipment You Will Need

  • Blender or food processor

  • Mixing bowl

  • Box grater (if not blending apples)

  • Non-stick frying pan or skillet

  • Spatula

  • Measuring cup and spoon

Step-by-Step Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Oatmeal

If your oatmeal is already very fine (like quick oats), you can use it as is. For a smoother texture:

  1. Place 1 cup of oats into a blender or food processor.

  2. Blend until you get a flour-like consistency.

  3. Set aside.

This step helps the pancakes become softer and more uniform.

Step 2: Prepare the Apples

  1. Wash and peel the apples (peeling is optional).

  2. Remove the core.

  3. Grate the apples using a box grater or chop and blend them lightly.

Do not remove the juice — the moisture is important for the batter.

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

  1. Crack 2 eggs into a mixing bowl.

  2. Add 150 g of plain yogurt.

  3. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

This creates the liquid base of your batter.

Step 4: Combine Everything

  1. Add the blended oats to the wet mixture.

  2. Add the grated apples.

  3. Add 1 teaspoon baking powder.

  4. Mix gently but thoroughly.

The batter should be thick but spoonable. If it feels too thick, you may add 1–2 tablespoons of water or milk.

Step 5: Rest the Batter

Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes.
This allows the oats to absorb moisture and improves texture.

Cooking the Pancakes

Step 6: Heat the Pan

  1. Place a non-stick pan over medium heat.

  2. Lightly grease with a small amount of oil or butter.

Step 7: Cook the Pancakes

  1. Scoop batter onto the pan (about 2–3 tablespoons per pancake).

  2. Gently flatten with the back of a spoon.

  3. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear and the bottom is golden.

  4. Flip carefully and cook another 2 minutes.

Repeat until all batter is used.

Final Texture and Appearance

  • Golden brown outside

  • Soft and moist inside

  • Lightly sweet with apple flavor

  • No floury taste

  • No added sugar needed

Serving Suggestions (Still Healthy)

You can enjoy them:

  • Plain

  • With extra sliced apples

  • With a spoon of yogurt on top

Final Thoughts
