Apple Pancakes Recipe with Yogurt and Oats - No Sugar No Oil No Flour

Apple cakes , apple pancakes , pancakes with apples , pick one .

This is what I'm making today .

This recipe comes straight from my childhood and my grandparents used to make it for dinner .

Yes , for dinner .

Not for breakfast .

Imagine that in Poland where I grew up , we actually would make this type of pancakes for second course for dinner .

That usually meant you had soup for the first one .

And that also usually meant that you don't have much time to prepare a wholesome meal .

So it was a short cut and I transformed this recipe into a healthy high protein meal .

So what you are about to see is actually old pancakes with apples .

Unlike my grandpa's recipe , this one will not contain any flour , any butter or oil or sugar .

Each pancake has only 78 calories with whopping 5 g of protein and out of the uh recipe , you would , you should get about nine pancakes .

This came out so amazing that if I just tried it and that without knowing that actually this doesn't have uh flour and butter and oil and sugar .

I , I would never know that's how amazing they are .

So I'm very excited to share the recipe with you right now and things to keep in mind , I'm gonna use a uh no sugar .

I think sweeteners , some kind of sweetener , sweeten uh vanilla yogurt .

So if you do not like sweeteners , uh you can also make some um swaps like maybe you don't care about this low calorie .

Maybe you want to have some sugar use just regular vanilla sugar , uh vanilla um yogurt .

And let's say maybe you don't want that sugar and you don't want that sweetener .

Use low fat Greek yogurt for that or fat , just regular yogurt cooking , baking it .

It's really about playing and about making something that you absolutely enjoy and agree with .

The agreeable part is extremely important because we all have our uh ideas what healthy food is and what's not so feel free to make this food your own , how you perceive your health .

So we're gonna need uh eggs , yogurt oats and I'm gonna make a sauce out of strawberries .

So uh frozen or fresh , whichever you like um lemon zest is , it's really delicious with it and apples .

So apples come with different shapes and sizes I have here very three , very small apples .

But if I have a large one , I use um uh one or two medium .

So be aware of that and and baking powder .

Of course , we want the pancakes to grow a bit .

So we're gonna start with the strawberries first .

I'm a small burner So they don't go too fast and I roughly chop them as you could see right here .

So they , they gonna , when they start falling apart , it's gonna be much better .

And to that , I'm gonna add a couple of tablespoons of the Monk food sweetener .

It's my favorite one right here .

Like this .

You can use any sweetener you like or if you don't like sweeteners , go ahead and use sugar .

Just make sure you account for the extra calories that you're gonna be adding to it .

I'm adding here about two tablespoons .

So when the sauce thickens , when it cooks longer , it's gonna be thicken and it's gonna become very , very sweet and look what's happening here , we stop paying attention and it's going crazy if it goes like this , reduce the heat , let it come down .

It's not ready yet .

It's still too liquidy .

Let's just check it out .

So you can see it closer .

See and let it be bubbly like this , right ?

Like that .

See the bubbles .

That is perfect .

And you know when it's ready , when the bubbles get thicker and thicker and that reduces .

And that's when you get the best sweetness .

See how nice and thick it is .

It's almost like preserve like and because we've cooked it so long now it's gonna be very , very sweet grind it all .

You can also buy oat flour .

But this way it's way cheaper .

Prepare apples since they come in different shapes and sizes the amount of apples will vary if it is a big apple like this 18 to 9 ounces .

Use just one .

If you are using smaller apples , use as many as you will need to get at least eight ounces from them .

Bo And if you like bigger pieces in your cakes , remove the core and using a slicer , slice them very thinly .

Or you prefer , if you prefer smaller apple pieces and more Shapey pancakes , grate them with a grater just like this one .

Either way they will taste great .

Crack two large eggs into a large bowl .

You can also use egg whites only for even lower calorie and higher protein option .

We are going to start preparing the apple cakes by preheating a large nonstick pan .

So I'm the best is nonstick because you really don't have to use any butter .

I mean any no butter , no calories and it's gonna brown and be perfect if you'd like to use butter for flavor .

Go ahead .

It's not gonna hurt .

Just make sure you account for the extra calories .

So I'm gonna show you how I use if I , if I was to use butter , this is how I would do it to save save as many calories as I possibly can .

I'm gonna grab a stick of butter , put it on the pan and just do like , so that usually uses , I already checked .

Yes , I did check .

It's about a gram to 2 g of butter , which is very , very little .

And now we are ready .

What are cakes ?

They , they're not gonna be perfect because they have apples in them .

But this is how you're gonna spread them apart .

You wanna flatten them a little bit so they can cook in a reasonable amount of time .

Oh , come back .

Yeah , this one doesn't wanna be a part of the family a little bit more in here so some of them look better than the others but I'm pretty sure all of them will be tasting great .

Alright make sure that the flame is not too high because they're gonna burn before they , before they even cook the meat .

I don't want that and let's check making sure we are burning them .

Yeah , they ready to be flipped .

Boom .

And now let me show you how we're gonna do it the same way with the grated apples and they definitely gonna look even more perfect .

Same drill , either butter or not butter however you prefer and promise me they won't stick .

If you have a non stick pan that you didn't burn , they will not stick and fry them two maybe three minutes um per side and look at the little bubbles I'm not sure if you can see it .

And also uh all the edges when they start being a little bit set , like you don't see the raw butter on the edges , they're ready to clip .

That means like the edges dried up a little bit and look how perfect they look .

I am definitely very , very proud of them .

Look at this perfection .

You would not even tell these are some low calorie , high protein pancakes with oats , with no butter with no oil and no sugar crazy .

So let's take a quick look at the texture .

So these are the ones the first batch that uh the apples were sliced .

So this this is how they look .

And if you don't care for this texture , make sure you , you did the other one , the greater ones and this is my perfect delicious sugar free strawberry preserves .

Let's dress it up with some syrup sugar free .

Of course in my house and a dollop of Greek yogurt .

So let's just have a try .

Oh yeah .

Look at the apples .

Look at this perfect bite and this is how you see like if you ever wonder about the on the side , see it looks like a cooked dough .

Nothing is wrong .

Perfect .

Yeah , so good .

You know that that lemon zest .

It makes such a big difference .

I dare you to try it with and without it .

And you tell me in the comments below .

If you taste that this is such a huge difference as well .

What's interesting is that the apples and not like falling apart , they still hold their texture and the shape at the same time , they're very soft and sweet , very good .

And that yogurt add extra protein and that creaminess flavor .

Perfect .

Make sure you try both of them and tell me what you think in the comments below and make sure you watch these two videos and I will see you on the next one .
