Step 1
Start by combining the apples, water, and orange juice in a small pot. Bring it to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low. Add in the vanilla and cinnamon, stirring occasionally as the apples cook. Let it simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes, until the apples turn a light golden color and most of the liquid has evaporated. Once that happens, stir in the maple syrup and keep the sauce warm on low heat.

Step 2
Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, oats, milk, egg, coconut oil, vanilla, sucralose, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Mix just until everything comes together—don’t overdo it or the pancakes might get tough.

Step 3
Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-low heat. Scoop out big spoonfuls of batter onto the griddle and cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set, about 3 to 5 minutes. Flip them carefully and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, until they’re golden brown on the other side. Keep going until all the batter is used up.

Step 4
Serve your pancakes warm with plenty of that cozy apple-maple sauce spooned over the top.
Why you’ll love it
This breakfast is both hearty and wholesome. The oats add a nice texture and fiber, making it more filling than regular pancakes. The apple maple sauce brings a sweet and fruity touch that pairs perfectly with the warm, comforting pancakes.
How to serve
Serve warm with a drizzle of extra maple syrup or a dollop of yogurt for added creaminess. Fresh fruit like sliced bananas or berries also complements the flavors nicely.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a toaster or microwave to keep them soft. The apple maple sauce can be stored separately in the fridge for up to a week.
