- 6 tablespoons oat flour (40g) click for the recipe!
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup butter melted
For The Pancakes:
- 1 cup oat flour (112g) click for the recipe!
- 1/4 cup Monk Fruit Sweetener
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 egg
- 2 egg yolk
- 1 cup Greek yogurt vanilla-flavored
- 1 1/2 cups apple (166g) chopped
- maple syrup for serving
Instructions
For the Crisp:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, combine the oats, oat flour, and coconut sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. The crumble will firm up and become crispy as it cools.
For the Pancakes:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, monk fruit sweetener, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and ground ginger.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and Greek yogurt until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in the chopped apples.
- Preheat a griddle or large nonstick skillet to medium heat (about 350°F). Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Scoop 1/3 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake, spreading it slightly. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the edges are set and bubbles begin to burst on the surface.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 4 to 6 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
To Serve:
- Store cooked pancakes between two large plates (with one inverted to make a lid) to keep them warm.
- Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup and the prepared crisp topping.
