How to make baked apple and blueberry pancakes
- First preheat your oven to 180°C/356°F
- Then blend together the rolled oats, flaxseeds and baking powder, until you have a fine flour.
- In a small bowl mix the lemon juice with the soy milk to thicken it then mix in the apple sauce.
- Add the blended dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
- Now mix in the wet ingredients and gently whisk, until just combined.
- You want your oven baked pancakes to turn out soft and fluffy so, be careful not to overmix. Overmixing recipes that have oat flour can make them tough and gummy.
- Pour the pancake mix into a lined cast iron frypan or baking dish.
- The mixture will be fairly thick, so using a palette knife or spatula, spread it to evenly cover the pan.
- Top with the optional blueberries and diced apple.
- Bake at 180°C/356°F for 15-20 minutes or until golden and the top springs back when lightly pressed,
- Cut and enjoy topped with your favourite pancake toppings.
Notes:
If you don’t have a high speed blender then use oat flour and ground flaxseeds, but be sure to weigh out the ingredients as cup measurements will be different.
Making your own apple sauce is so easy and cheaper than buying it.
Serving suggestions
- Serve drizzled with maple syrup and a dollop of vegan yoghurt.
- Enjoy with a scoop of ice cream.
- Add extra berries and stewed apples.
- Before baking add other berries try raspberries and strawberries.
- Add diced pear instead of apple to the top.
