Apple Pecan Oatmeal Pancakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup rolled oats
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 None large egg, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tbsp baking powder
6 tbsp sugar
1 cup milk
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted, plus more for cooking
3 None sweet apples (such as pink lady or golden delicious) cored and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
3/4 cup pecans, roughly chopped
None None Butter and maple syrup, to serve

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 200\u00b0F. Mix the oats with the boiling water in a large bowl and leave to soak for 5 mins. Next, whisk in the egg. Sift the flour and baking powder together, then mix into the oat mixture with the sugar. Stir in the milk and melted butter, followed by the apples and pecans.
Melt some butter in a non-stick skillet over a medium heat. When the butter foam subsides, add 1/3-cup measures of batter, leaving space between each pancake. Cook for 2-3 mins, until the bottom is golden and bubbles start to appear on the top, then flip and cook the other side for 1-2 mins, until golden. Transfer the pancakes to a large plate and keep warm in oven.
Repeat with the remaining batter, using more butter as necessary. Serve the pancakes with pats of butter and drizzled with maple syrup.
