Oats and apples together tastes delicious, loved the combination…
During weekends, I try hard to overcome my morning laziness and make a delicious brunch for my Man. On Sunday, just before I was out of the bed, I had a few minutes of tug of war: whether to make brunch from scratch or to settle down with cereal. I won the war and made up my mind to make delicious pancakes as I knew my Man would love it. As I got off the bed, my Man very sweetly asked me if I could make pancakes for him. Now, that’s a coincidence, we both were thinking of pancakes 🙂 I told him “your wish is going to be true in a few minutes”. After I enjoyed a cup of hot coffee, I felt enthusiastic and started making pancakes.
I love to have oats for breakfast, and I love the fact that oats can be added to the pancake batter which gives a nice chewy texture. For a crunchy bite, I added chopped apples as well. The combination of oats and apples were just fantastic, we both loved this pancake. In fact, I wanted to make a second batch, it was that delicious.
