Instructions

Core and slice an apple into cubes. You can peel the apple first if you want, but you don't have to!
Add oats to a blender or food processor and blend until they are fine flour. Add the apple cubes and the rest of the ingredients into the blender and blend until smooth.
Grease a pan, and heat it on the stove over medium heat. Scoop a spoonful of batter onto the pan. Cook about 2 minutes on one side, and then flip and cook the other side until they are golden and cooked through.
Let cool and serve with syrup, peanut butter, applesauce, or your favorite topping!

Notes

Blend the oats first for a smoother batter, or keep them whole for a heartier texture.

The natural sweetness comes mostly from the apple, so if you want sweeter pancakes, add 1–2 teaspoons of maple syrup or honey (for kids over 1).

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.

These pancakes are soft and tender, making them perfect for toddlers and baby-led weaning.
