Who doesn’t like pancake on a lazy Sunday morning? The smell and the taste of the pancake literally make me wake up with a smile. My kids love sweet potato pancakes (see my prior posting). But then I have seen these two apples laying on the countertop for days. I decided to make a twist..
ingredients:
1 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 cup instant cooking oats (notes)
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
1-2 teaspoon cinnamon and pinch of nutmeg or spice of your preference
1 1/2 cup water or liquid of your preference
2 mid-size apples
pecans just handful (optional)
oil of your preference for pan frying
In a bowl, combine flour, oats, chia seeds if using, cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour in the water and let the mixture rest. Roughly chop pecans and roast in a small nonstick pan under low heat. shred apples (I got a bit over 2 cups). Then, fold in apples in the flour mixture, and set aside the roasted pecans. In the same nonstick pan, drop the mixture of your preferred size and pan fry it like making any pancakes. They were more like apple hash^^. Last but not the least, sprinkle the pecans on the top and serve with honey or maple syrup.
Note:
I used coarsely ground buckwheat flour from a local farm. So it’s almost black color. You can use arrowhead mills buckwheat flour. They are lighter in color.
You can use oat flour instead of quick cooking oats. Also feel free to add in your preferred nuts and/or dried fruit. But you may need to adjust the liquid a little bit more or less.
